Junkers J1 Finally!

**clipper1801** · 12-08-2012 22:28

I have been very excited with this one. It has such a distinctive shape and impressive operational record and I was so glad it got released before I scratch built it!

Brown tail "A" is also shown in the Wingnut Wings color schemes as all green. I like the bot of brown . . .

Fully cowled engine, way cool!

Overall views

Now to the lozenge/green/mauve beauty!

Nice to have such a variety of colors on the mat, gotta get Hunter back in the air soon!

Where did that Vimy go?

**somaliavet** · 12-09-2012 00:38

They are both most impressive! Not sure which I like better!

**flash** · 12-09-2012 01:24

They look great David, what a lovely looking aircraft

**Baron Rolf** · 12-09-2012 02:22

Omg David they look fabulous.

**Doug** · 12-09-2012 02:46

**Jager** · 12-09-2012 05:27

Very nice

Inevitably this one (one of my favourite planes of the war) was released about a day after my latest order, so its #1 in the queue for my NEXT order now

**Nick_ace** · 12-14-2012 16:41

WOW!They are spectacular, both of them.

**gully_raker** · 12-14-2012 18:34

Superb Clipper!

I Really like the Brown one. Looks just perfect.

A cracking pair of JIs .David.
I do like the purple and green cammo especially.

Those are really, really nice!

**kduke42** · 12-19-2012 12:24

I have them on order also (but the Xmas line is a long one it seems- first time they have missed a proposed printing date). I see we have a 'card' for the mauve/green one. The others are nice also. Max or Guntruck, care to have a go?

**pbhawkin** · 12-19-2012 14:01

nice!
good painting

**kduke42** · 12-24-2012 20:52

Mine came to the door today--fine timing! I would not have guessed how much more dramatic it is in person, even tho it is quite impressive in pix. Very nice!

**john snelling** · 12-29-2012 08:40

Awesome!!

**Grey Knight** · 01-06-2013 06:31

Very nice indeed,green & purple gets my vote

**Von Schlepp** · 01-21-2013 08:52

Absolutely beautiful work. Very inspiring.

This will be my first Shapeways plunge.

Is there a card available?. maneuver deck settled? game-data been finalized?

**Grey** · 08-28-2014 07:52

Duplicate post

**Jager** · 08-28-2014 08:13

I have a few of them; painted 2 for origins this year. They came out pretty nice.

There is a new line drawing, and a card could show up, with stats. Which units and crews were these planes from?

Hmm... Max's card is pretty sweet. It will take a bit of work to get even close to that good.

**milcoll73** · 08-28-2014 10:50

those look cool!! i especially like the purple one

Looks good, but I have my doubts about the existence of a front firing arc. I also think "20" is rather "conservative" an estimate, for damage.

Grey and Thetford has this as it's armament, as does a couple of other sources I ran across (though they might have used G&T). A pair of downward firing MGs were also fitted, but removed when they proved less than useful for strafing.
I wasn't on the committee for the J.I discussion (and can't find it right now), but it does seem a bit light. OTOH, for my contact patrol scenario, I had a set of house rules to account for it's armor.
