ScaleType: This (oz62) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

Hello Mary! New plane [model pic and more pics 003-008]! Very nice plan to build! Thanks,Eldon Masini - 09/02/2020
The Junkers Ju52 (oz62) [pics 009-014] came from an aviation era when the commercial philosophy went something like “One motor is a necessity, two is better, and three is positively safe.” Iron Annie, as the Ju52 was affectionately known, figured prominently in the historical events leading up to as well as World War Two itself. From early Lufthansa commercial aviation to the Nuremberg rallies, from the invasion of Crete to the re-supply efforts at Stalingrad, Annie (Tante Ju) oozes history. It continues to fly to this day.
As a side note, it is significant that the great aviation pioneer Hugo Junkers himself was not a Nazi. As a matter of fact, he was an avowed pacifist who following the conclusion of World War One wanted nothing more than to fill the sky with Junkers-designed commercial airliners. As a consequence he was removed from the directorship of his own company when the National Socialists came to power. They nevertheless continued to use the prestige of the great man’s name.
From a modeling standpoint, the Ju52’s deceptive simplicity necessitates only a single fuselage-located motor to make it a serious flying model. Beware those bones however…you’ll need to resist the urge to leave it all "unfinished," just so you can admire the "innards." Thanks for another great plan from Outerzone!

A remarkable representation of a veritable classic. Your exceptional craftsmanship is clearly evident in the bare-bones pictures. Two questions, Neal: do you live in a house or hanger, and doesn't the sound of all those engines keep you up at night?
Jan Novick - 09/04/2021
Thanks, Jan...it does feel like a hanger...at least in some rooms. Two things I love...history and airplanes...been building models for many decades...why stop now? I guess that I'm just a young boy at heart. As for engine noise, grew up directly in the landing approach to an airfield...airplane engines are "music to my ears." I love it.
Neal - 09/04/2021
For thirty years did I live under an airport runway centreline as well, and after a short time the sound was part of the environment. My ears prickled only when it was an uncommon note, that was what made me rush to the window, even after those thirty years, as I could identify them all by their sound.
When the first Aeroflot flight came in I was disconcerted as the sound was totally different from the usual range. The worst offenders were the Concorde and the Avro Vulcan at takeoff, those did shake windows and left a cacophony of car alarms behind!
An added benefit was the Chanel Jet Propellant fragrance when the wind was right.
Now I live some 20km from the nearest airport but when the air is still I can hear the 6 am rush :-)
Oh, and a nice Junkers it is too :-)

Hi Miguel...amazingly similar memories, half-a-world-away. My own began with Fortresses and Super-Fortresses, all day, every day...culminating years later with a rare SR71 Blackbird that had people stopping beside the expressway to get out of their cars and gawk as it passed overhead. As I was constructing my Annie, I couldn't help but reflect upon all the feelings, good, bad, and in-between that airplane could conjure...saved a few lives in its time as well as brought the devil...sights and sounds of the past.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
