Junkers A50 Junior (1935)
(Aircraft depicted is still in SWA Airways colours)
At the time of SAA’s take-over of Union Airways the single Junkers A.50 owned by them became part of SAA. In 1935 when SWA Airways was taken over by SAA a further two were added to the strength of SAA. The A50s were used mainly by South West African Airways in the princi-ple role as air mail carriers. The aircraft joined SAA when South African Airways took over both Union Airways in 1934 and South West African Airways in 1935, a total of three were operated by the airline.

Modelling
There is no kit of this aircraft available that I am aware of.
Colours
The aircraft appears to have been natural metal overall.
Decals
At the time of writing no dedicated decals have been pro-duced to allow the modeller to build an SAA operated air-craft. Although being plain black registration codes and airline titles it should not be too difficult to reproduce them
