SAAF Ju52s were ex-SAA, so the civilian model, as were the Ju86s. They were field modified to carry bombs, and painted in camouflage colours. I don't have any photos of Ju52s available, but I do have one or two of the JU86s. They appear to be wearing heavily weathered sand (or pale) coloured paint on the uppersurfaces, and possibly similarly-toned pale blue paint on the lower surfaces, with a straight feathered demarcation which is virtually imperceptible on B+W photos. Good luck!

I presume that all eleven Ju-52s operate by SAA were pressed into service. Do you know the serial numbers and letters? I've found the following plate but all the photos I been able to find suggest and single colour. Then again its hard to tell in over exposed black and white film.

Grief, no! No idea, I'm afraid. Is that scan from Piet Van Schalkwyk's SA Colours and Markings? If not, that might be a place to start.

Time consuming but pretty rewarding. Is anyone interested in a plan silver Tante Ju?
