Schuco Pays Tribute to the Tante Ju this December

Schuco’s 1:72 scale German Junkers Ju 52/3m Tri-Motor Transport – AZ-JU, Crete, 1941

As the week closed out, we learned that no fewer than three Junkers Ju 52 transports are set to fly-in this December. Schuco has always been one of those hard-to-obtain manufacturers, at least here in the States, largely because they haven’t had a dedicated distributor willing to import the line from Germany. As a result, there’s been loads of products we would have gladly added to our product portfolio over the years, that never made the cut since they were difficult to get. No matter, one of our distributors was able to procure three different 1:72 scale Junkers Ju 52 transports at an incredible price, so we’re therefore able to pass along the savings to you this holiday season. Besides the operational scheme shown above, the other two versions expected include:

Schuco’s 1:72 scale German Junkers Ju 52/3m Tri-Motor Transport – D-ABIK “Manfred von Richthofen,” Hermann Goering’s Personal Transport, 1936
Schuco’s 1:72 scale ScSwiss Junkers Ju 52/3m Tri-Motor Transport

We’re hoping that more of Schuco’s military aircraft will be made available going forward and that this isn’t a “one-and-done” anomaly meant simply to reduce inventory. Time will tell….

Schuco Brings Back an Old Favorite

SCH450661400

Apparently there was a bit of good news emanating from the Nuremberg Toy Fair two weeks ago. German-based Schuco has decided to resurrect one of their highly coveted motorcycles – a 1:10 scale Zundapp KS750 complete with sidecar regaled in desert tan and bearing the markings of the Deutsches Afrika Korps. In the past, we’ve done exceptionally well with these brutes and this one shouldn’t be an exception given its size, detail and sales history. We are now accepting pre-orders and may not have enough available for general sale once it does come out. We hope to have additional product pix in the weeks ahead.
