This looks really nice! And that's your first attempt? Neat! I wonder, whether new-slot unarmed versions of the Ju-52, FW-200 amd C-47 could be made in order to represent civilian aircraft. This might be of interest for a number of different mission-building scenarios. I know, we can just change the loadout to "empty," but I still think it would look nicer if there were versions of these aircraft without the gun positions.

Anyway, nice skin!

Well, the first one I seriously tried to get correct.

I love to fly the Ju-52 on ordinary real-time flights (no combat), so a civilian mod (no gunner) would be cool.

Glad you like it.

Hi Lefty,

Perhaps, instead of the gunner, we could get a pretty flight attendant to have a peek into the cockpit every now and then to serve coffee and light refreshments? Wouldn't that be a pleasant break from the routine on those long, real-time flights? Any talented modders up for this one?

Just a thought.

Yes, I say we get a picture of a nice Italian girl...

EDT: My cousin Simona can probably get one of her friends from the university. She graduated last year with a masters in engineering.

Hi there!

Just as an aside, since we're talking about Ju-52s and pretty flight attendants. In the early 80s, there was a comedy show on German TV, titled "Zwei himmlische Toechter (two heavenly daughters)". It was about a decrepit little airline operating out of Frankfurt Airport, flying an old Ju-52 among all the modern jetliners. I believe, the pilot was a somewhat lethargic Italian guy and then there were two pretty female flight attendants who wore relatively sparse clothing and who got into all sorts of trouble. I don't remember much else from that show, but I do recall a beverage they called the "pilot's breakfast," a ghastly mix of hot black coffee and plenty of lemon juice. Still haven't figured out whom the "two" in the series' title referred to, the two flight attendants, or just one of them and the airplane. Couldn't be the engines, either, as a Ju-52 has three of them.

bohr-r, I think the title refers to the two women who seems to be ex nightclub dancers in real life by the way (according Wikipedia). This comedy show is available on DVD, so when you are in a sentimental mood... :wink:

Hi Lejo,

Thanks for posting this. Sure made me me reminisce. I never did get to meet either one of the actresses, but I did see the "Tante-Ju" fly by once at the airport in Frankfurt, while waiting for another flight. Goodness, was that thing ever loud! It seemed to almost drown out some of the jets, even through the thick glass of the waiting area at the gate. As a kid, I did get to walk around inside a Ju-52 on display at the German Museum in Munich.
Our family doctor used to fly them in and out of Stalingrad during WW II. As an eight-year old kid enthusiastic about WW II aircraft, I once asked him what it was like to fly these planes under combat conditions back then. He just smiled at me and said: "Pretty darn cold!"
