Juergen KlinglhuberStarted this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

Juergen KlinglhuberThe mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎

Juergen KlinglhuberThank you Alec, Thomas & Cuajete. When I had finished I thought: "Grab, overdone. This bird was for sure not that worn as it went to the airshow more or less fresh from the manufacturer." But the more looked at it the more I was okay with the result. So your comments are welcome and soothe my concerns. 👍

NicolasDon't worry Juergen, even on new airplanes there are sometimes clear visual differences in the sheet metal. For example, some manufacturers deburr the rivet holes with a grinding machine, the sheets are made of different alloys or are applied with different rolling directions, all of which have an influence on the appearance. I like it.
