Popular Post munzieb Posted July 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 My wife's niece from Germany visited us last month. She is crazy for everything Lufthansa. She knows many of the crews and has even been written up in their in-flight magazine. She is a Dr. of research oncology but would give it all up to fly for them. She has her private licence. Problem is she is too short and can't reach the pedals on the airliners. I told her I would do a Lufthansa plane for her. She always loved the Junkers JU-52. This aircraft came out in 1932, shortly before the DC-3 and was Lufthansa's first airliner. It looks similar to the Ford Tri-motor and has the same corrigated skin. Several aircraft are still flying and there are some Youtube videos of one based in Switzerland. The cutting was a challenge because so much of the aircraft is painted black and all the straight lines of the corrigation and I also elimated the doors underneath. They close up in flight. I had to add some extra bridges to keep it all together. crupiea, barb.j.enders, john nelson and 23 others 25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Very nicly done! Those parralel straight lines must have been a challenge I know I have done some cuts with similar lines and they are a bear to keep straight and difficult to keep the cuts on the lines. Again, good work! munzieb and danny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, good work! Thanks Frank, you're right, they are a challenge and they are double cut. I've had alot of practice with all the car grills I have done. It's important to go SLOW!
