Special Hobby 1/72nd Junkers W-34 - Eurasia modification + Arctic Decals set

 

Here is the completed Special Hobby Junkers W-34hi in Eurasia livery. Much has been elaborated on schemes and colors in modeling forums, and as usual sources may be not be definitive about certain things and sometimes even contradict each other, so some aspects are speculative, and other modelers have come to different conclusions representing different solutions for their models. For more information please refer to the step-by-step building post here:

The Special Hobby kit is clearly more refined than the MPM representation of the same plane, but both have pros and cons. More on that on a similar thread where that kit was built:

My heart-felt thanks go to Mika Jernfors for producing a well-researched and beautiful set for the Eurasia W-34 in its different numerals (and soon for the W33 I understand) and providing invaluable data, and to modeling saint and hermit S. Schulz of Marzipanland for assisting with information and good advice.
