I suspect these kits are few and far between these days. This one was given to me by a good German friend. When i visited him and his family 3 years ago we went to watch some flights of a full size Ju52. That inspired me to build the kit as soon as a couple of other projects were finished. It was a joy to build, even though it is smaller than most other kit built and scratch built projects i take on, it was a lot fun. I too hope it flies as well as yours but probably won't have a chance to confirm that until spring.
