The Ju-52/3m was originally designed as a passenger and cargo aircraft, and extensively used around the world by airlines of many different countries. With the outbreak of WW2, the design was militarized into different versions, including auxiliary bomber, logistics, paratrooper and troop transport, ambulance and even minesweeper.
This unarmed g5e transport version had 3x830 Hp engines, a top speed of 183 mph at S.L., and capacity for a maximum of 13 paratroopers or 18 air-transported troops. The livery corresponds to a unit that saw service during the invasion of Crete in 1942.
Several Ju-52/3ms are at present on display in very good condition in museums in different countries, and quite a few still fly today. Virtual and Transparent cockpit elements added using SCASM. Custom panel with customized engine gauges included, RPM and Boost Gauges programmed by Ivan.
