The Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0128 Ju 52 "Tante Ju" 1/72 model is a faithful miniature of one of the most recognizable transport aircraft of the 20th century.

This set is a classic plastic assembly model kit that does not include glue or paints – these need to be purchased separately.

Historical Overview and Use

The Junkers Ju 52, affectionately known as "Tante Ju" (Aunt Ju), is a German transport aircraft designed in the 1930s. It was manufactured by Junkers for the needs of the Luftwaffe as well as civil airlines such as Deutsche Luft Hansa. The Ju 52 was widely used by Germany during World War II – serving as a transport aircraft, bomber, and also for paratrooper drops, including during the campaigns in France, North Africa, and the operation on Crete in 1941. Despite its age, the aircraft produced were even used after the war in many countries across Europe and South America.
