Started this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

Hello mates and thank you for your interest!

The mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Hey - thank you Roland for your feedback. That gives motivation of course 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
That's great, that's how it should be, because your construction progress here gives me inspiration 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Ju86 just left the paint hangar,...

Alec K
The metal finish looks great, has nice variation to it 👍

Thomas Kolb
I agree with Alec, the metal surface looks very realistic in the photos!

Cuajete
I agree with Alec and Thomas. Great metallized! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thank you Alec, Thomas & Cuajete. When I had finished I thought: "Grab, overdone. This bird was for sure not that worn as it went to the airshow more or less fresh from the manufacturer." But the more looked at it the more I was okay with the result. So your comments are welcome and soothe my concerns. 👍

Nicolas
Don't worry Juergen, even on new airplanes there are sometimes clear visual differences in the sheet metal. For example, some manufacturers deburr the rivet holes with a grinding machine, the sheets are made of different alloys or are applied with different rolling directions, all of which have an influence on the appearance. I like it.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx Nicolas !!

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
DONE.
