Looking for some information while building my Junkers A-50, I came across a website for a model company that sells this jewel. I immediately fell in love with this particular airplane.
The Kiek-in-die-Welt by Dekno models

I had already decided that the A-50 I was to build would be the one I remembered hanging from the ceiling of the departure hall at Helsinki airport. But I kept returning to this picture and the more I read about Marga Wolff von Etsdorf, the more I became convinced I had to make a special version of her airplane in its orange- yellow livery.

So here it is, enjoy

Ps, A big thanks to Dekno Models for their models and their website that provided the blueprints for this model.

    @DeezDucks I don't know how active you are as a moderator still, but I have a problem. THis aircraft is a successor to my earlier Junkers A50 from Finland but on the page for that plane it doesn't show up as a successor. Did I do something wrong or do I have to specify it there? How does this work when you want to start a challenge and you need a custom successor/entries page?
