Junkers Ju-52 KGrzbV1 (1Z+LM) Norway 1941

Photo 01: A superb photograph and a subject for modeler’s, this very used Junkers Ju-52 was photographed en route to Norway. Its old 61/62/63/65 camouflage was visible in many places under retouches of 70 and 71 greens. All undersurfaces were in temporary black for night operations. The crisply painted fuselage cross looks strangely new between the code 1Z+LM, the last letter after the blue L being almost invisible. The knight emblem indicated the first Gruppe of KGrzbV I.
