I'm wanting to ask if there is a need or desire to have a Spanish Civil War aircraft skin.
I found a beautifully painted plane (it has to be attractive for me to choose it) on
the internet. See it here:

Comments are also wanted on the plane skin below which flew 1935-1938.

The Junkers Ju 52 nicknamed 'Tante Ju' or ('Auntie Ju') and Iron Annie was a German trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1932 to 1945. It saw both civilian and
military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 air carriers including Swissair and Deutsche Luft Hansa as an airliner and freight hauler.
In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport and briefly as a medium bomber. The Ju 52 continued in postwar service with military and
civilian air fleets well into the 1980s.

The Spanish Civil War aircraft skin would look nice. If you have "free" time, by all means do it. We all know there is no "free" time ;)

The skin for the 1935-1938 airframe needs some weathering and oil streaks, otherwise it's your call!

Seems anything you do ends up gorgeous in it's own right.

Here's another image. I wish someone would help me eliminate the
Moiré pattern that appears on the wings and top of the plane when
I view it at an angle.

Image

There's some weathering added to the plane (thanks for the reminder)
and the corrugated pattern on the rudder is made smaller. You can
see the lines if you click on the image and use the magnification button.

Am I one, as once my Ottos in JU52 managed to destroy an Sdk? :mrgreen:

What comes to the skin, fabulous work. As all of them done by iart7. Wish could do the same.

If you are into nostalgia flights, there are at least two airlines that still fly passengers.
The flight onboard Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung Junkers 52-3m D-CDLH from
Hamburg to Berlin-Tempelhof is special. The crew uses the "Do Not Step" markings
on the wing, but not entirely. See this at 1:23:30 mark. Also you can see the Japanese
passenger brought his own parachute, just in case.

Here is another plane flying passengers:

At the 7:00 minute mark, there comes a neat biplane with Spanish markings
on the tail. Notice the black stripes on the wings that I had not seen earlier in
my research. Here is a link to some paratroopers jumping from S7+L15
during battle in Warbirds:

Grupo de Bombardeo Nocturno (night bombers) 22-48, named "Navarra" of the 2-G-22, 1937
I'm still working on the colors and have fixed the top wing "X". Notice the bottom wing "X" is
wrongly depicted on the artist profile view compared to the b/w photo.

Is that -splt- or juice= in that Spitfire?

The Condor Legion (German: Legion Condor) was a unit composed of military personnel
from the air force and army of Nazi Germany, which served with General Francisco Franco's
Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War of July 1936 to March 1939.
