Aircraft also revolutionized Herpaden Franconian manufacturer of model vehicles. Hardly a model aircraft that herpa does not reproduce on a small scale. The model range has been continuously expanded to include aircraft types from the aviation of civil and military, as well as accessories for airport dioramas, miniature worlds or model railways. In 1:500 scale alone, more than 3,500 model aircraft have been created from over 100 different aircraft types and almost 600 airlines, from Lufthansa, Ryanair, Eurowings, Air France to Emirates. The permanent quality increase of aircraft models and the increasing detail also speak for themselves. First launched in 1990 from a Boeing B-52, with the three-stage 1932, exactly 90 years ago, the Junkers Ju-52/3m, the three-engine and by far the most important version of the legendary Auntie Ju, launched their maiden flight. The Lufthansa Ju-52 is a classic and unbroken favourite in the Herpa program, almost since the beginning days of the Wings series (item no. 019040). Less known, the British European Airways ten Ju-52 operated between 1946 and 1948. The UK government founded BEA in 1946, initially for Europe, from 1947 also for domestic flights. To comply with this, BEA flew a colourful mixed fleet, which also included ten Ju-52 captured by defeated Germany. Since “Junkers” in English sounds like “junk”, i.e. “junk”; BEA called the planes unceremoniously “Jupiter”. They have been used exclusively on domestic routes. Although they were quite popular with flight crews, the lack of spare parts for the BMW engines made for a quick service after just two years.
