JUNKERS JU 86 D - I
Realizzato come prototipo nel 1934 in menodi sei mesi. il bimotore Junkers 86 venne progettato in modo da poter essere impiegato (con le necessarie varianti del caso, conservando tuttavia inalterata la struttura base) sia come aereo civile
da trasporto che come bombardiere militare. Ne conseguf che I'aereo. pur presentando soluzioni costruttive assai avanzate per I'epoca. quale risultato di un compromesso tra esigenze tanto diverse, non riuscf del tutto soddisfacente in entrambe le version!. Lo Ju 86 era un bimotore dal profile poco aerodinamico, ad ala bassa di notevole superficie, con
struttura completamente metallica (il rivestimento di lamiera liscia costituiva una novita per la Casa), impennaggio bi
deriva, carrello retrattile e ruotino di coda fisso. Al bordo di uscita delle ali erano applicate le tipiche alette Junkers, a
treelementi: idue interni con funzione di ipersostentatori, quello esterno di alettone. L'armamento difensivo, piuttosto
insufficiente, consisteva in tre mitragliatrici MG 17 da 7,9 mm. situate rispettivamente sul muso vetrato e in due postazioni dorsale e ventrale, quest'ultima a torretta semiretrattile. L'armamento offensive consisteva in 800 Kg. di bombe,
appese verticalmente all'interno della fusoliera con gli impennaggi in basso. La caratteristica piu interessante dell'aereo
era costituita dai motori Junkers Jumo 205 da 600 CV, del tipo in linea a ciclo Diesel, di recentissima progettazione.
Questi motori, rispetto aquelli a ciclo Otto, pur avendo una potenza specifica piu bassa, presentavano il vantaggio di utilizzare un combustibile - quale il gasolio - meno infiammabile e piu economico, nonche di avere un minore consumo. La
versione D - I da bombardamento, qui presentata, era munita appunto dei suddetti Diesel. Purtroppo questi motori andarono soggetti a frequenti inconvenienti meccanici ed indussero la Junkers a sostituirli con motori stellari a ciclo Otto.
Si ebbero cosi successive versioni, fra cui la E 2 che sara presentata prossimamente. Alcuni bombardier! del tipo D - I
parteciparono con la Legione Condor alia Guerra di Spagna. Allo scoppio della Seconda Guerra Mondiale I'aereo, ormai
del tutto superato, era gia stato radiato dalle formazioni da combattimento ed assegnato alle scuole di pilotaggio. Tuttavia fu richiamato in linea alia fine del '42 come aereo da trasporto, quando la Luftwaffe dovette ricorrere a tutti gliaerei
disponibili nel disperato tentativo di rifornire le truppe rimaste assediate a Stalingrado. Caiatteristiche: Apertura alare

JUNKERSJU 86 D- I
This aircraft first appeared in 1934 and was produced Iroin drawing board to prototype in less than six months. This
twin-engined machine was planned to be used both for civil transport and also as a bomber, and the required variants used an unchanged base structure. The result of this was that the plane, although constructed with methods and materials
that were very advanced for the time, was a compromise between two completely different requirements and therefore
was not entirely successful in either version. The JU 86 was twin-engined, with a profile not very aerodynamic. It had a
low wing configuration with a very wide chord, and was made of metal. The wing covering was in thin metal sheet, and
this was this first time that Junkers had used this construct ion method. It had twin tail fins, a retractable undercarriage and
a small .fixed tail wheel. On the trailing edge of the wing were typical Junkers slats in three parts: the two on the inside
were used as wing flaps and the outside one as an aileron. The defensive armament was rather insufficient and consisted
of three 7,9 mm machine guns MG 1 7 placed respectively as follows: - one in the glass nose, one in the dorsal turret above the fuselageand the third under the fuselage in a ventral position. The last mentioned had a semi retractable turret.
The offensive armament consisted of 800 kgs of bombs. These were hung vertically inside the fuselage, nose uppermost.
The most interesting characteristic of this aircraft was that it was fitted with diesel engines. These were two Junkers
Jumo 205 600 hp engines of the "in line" two stroke type. These engines, compared with normal aircraft motors, did
have much less specific power but offered the advantages of using fuel (diesel oil) which is much less inflammable and
also much cheaper, and, last but not least, diesel engines have a much lower fuel consumption. The D-l Bomber version
here described was fitted with these diesel engines. They were, however, subject to frequent mechanical failures, and
therefore Junkers decided to replace these engines with normal 4 • stroke radial types. Of these, six other version were
built, amongst which the E - 2 will be presented as a Kit in the near future. The D - I type Bombers took part in the Spanish War, fighting with the Condor Legion. At the outbreak of World War 11 the aircraft, which was by now completely
obsolete, was used by Flying Schools. However, at theend of 1942 it was taken back into the Luftwaffe's service as a tran sport plane,when the Germans had to use all aircraft at their disposal in a desperate attempt to supply troops who were
besieged at Sta'^.g'ae. Tecnical data: Sc~- 22.50m - Lenght 17,86m- Empty weight 5800 Kgs- Maximum weight 8000

Prima di iniziare il montaggio studiare attentamen--:- - :^5": '.Icntare i pezzi seguendo I'ordine della numerazione, si consiglia di sottolineare ogni
volta il numero del pezzo montato. Le frecce nere
indicano i pezzi da incollare, le frecce bianche indicano i pezzi da montare senza colla. Usare solo
colla per polistirolo.
Before starting assembly carefully study the exploded drawings. Assemble parts following the number sequence and cross off each part number of the
drawing as it is fitted.Black arrows indicate parts to
be glued together, white arrows indicate parts to
be fitted without gluing. Use only glue suitable for
polystyrene.
