Curtis Caden AutorePurchased in 1936, manufacturing no. 5600, was Ju-52/3mg4e. It had only 8 passenger seats, but also a conference room. This machine was reserved by the command of the secret Air Force for Head of State - Regent Miklós Horthy.
Aircraft received civil registration HA-DUR (in Hungarian 'hadúr' means a warlord, also used as a title of the chief of the armed forces) and LÜH number 1001 (see SAFO No. 77), and had been named after the best scoring Hungarian WWI ace - lt. József Kiss. Despite civil registration aircraft was in a permanent (clandestine) military service.

Landlubber MikeVery cool build Curtis! I was just looking at my Ju-52 kits last night and thinking about starting them. You did a fantastic job. I've heard decaling these is tricky with the corrugated frames, but you did it masterfully.
