This animation is about assembling the Junkers Ju-Ef 126 from "Das Werk" in scale 1/35.
It was an eperimental fighter that was proposed as a response to the "Jägernotprogramm" or "Emergency Fighter Program" request for proposal issued by the Luftwaffe High Comand in 1944. While the initial design was supposed to use a single Argus pulse-jet engine, it was quickly found to be underpowered in that configuration. Various alternative propulsion options were explored, including a dual Argus configuration - a bit like the engine arrangement of the space ship enterprise...
The type was to be built utilizing wood for the flying surface with an aluminium fuselage and key structural elements. 4 Schmidding rocket boosters were arranged circumferentially around the rear fuselage.
I decided to build the little prototype situated in the manufacture around 1946 after world war two ended. The interior and the mechanics were digitally designed, animated and eventually printed on a Junco Evolution D 3D printer.

Thanks to Michael Cremerius, www.germania-figuren.eu for designing the base shape of the engineers I could finally animate in Maxon Cinema 4D.
