New from our friends at AIMS is this sheet with markings for two Ju-52s. Of course, your only kit opion in 1/48 is the very nice ProModeler/Revell kit that gets reissued from time to time. Actually, these are generally available at your local shop as they seem to be rather slow movers.

Two very nice markings options, neither of which is in a standard camo scheme, though that is provided with the instructions.

The first one is from a period color photo of a IV.Stab/Kg.z.b.V.1aircraft in Greece during 1941 It in in the base RLM 70/71 scheme with large areas of RLM 02, also in a splinter pattern. Yellow rudder and elevators along with the cowlings so a very colorful option.

The other is an ambulance version with pre-war RLM 61/62/63 upper surface colors and a black underside. This aircraft has pseudo civil markings that was common with these types of aircraft. This aircraft has a gun position atop the cockpit canopy.

Decals themselves are superbly printed by Fantasy Printshop and provide enough markings to do both options (assuming you have the shelf space for two Ju-52s in this scale). Instructions are well done with color placement markings. Background on both options are included along with references. Typical of most WWII German subjects, some info has to be guesstimated, but it all makes sense.
