Description
My take on the Junkers Ju-52/3m nicknamed Tante Ju - "Aunt Ju" by the Germans.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

The Junkers Ju-52 transport aircraft was designed in the early 1930's and was used as a civilian passenger and transport plane, in the Spanish civil war by the nationalists, and by the Germans all through WW2 for passenger/troop/staff/cargo transport, as an air ambulance, and for transporting paratroopers to their drop areas.
Between 1939 and 1944, 2,804 Ju-52s were delivered to the Luftwaffe, and although the design was outdated already at the beginning of the war the production of Ju-52s continued until around the summer of 1944.
Various Junkers Ju-52s continued in military and civilian use following World War II.

This civilian Lufthansa version carries different types of cargo.
There was a Lufthansa D-AZAT in the 30's but I can find no pictures so I used the name Wilhelm Reinhard since he was a commanding officer in the WW1 Jagdstaffel 6 just like Hans Kirschstein (my D-AZAW Ju-52). The D-AZAT was most likely a passenger plane but I wanted a civilian version of the cargo plane, so no passenger seats for Wilhelm but the extra large starboard cargo doors instead.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrows: Pitch.
Left/Down arrows: Roll.

Front and back doors opened with buttons on doors.

A note - the real thing probably had teardrop shaped wheel houses but since the game is poorly equipped to build hollow structures especially that small and I want to avoid the wheels clipping since that often results in issues I leave the wheels as is.
