Narrative:
Started to taxi for local photo flight, taxiway closed for airshow use only. Aircraft parked both sides of taxiway. We were being marshalled but this aircraft has non steerable tailwheel and is difficult to taxi on ground. We had 16 KT wind which increased radius of turning. We started 150 degree right turn. Left wing struck cowl of parked and unmanned T6. Minor damage to both aircraft. Pressure to complete photo flight and willingness to taxi in tight conditions added to error in judgement. Both pilots had that 'uncomfortable' feeling, but didn't advocate 'don't do it.' typical CRM failure.

Title: JU52 COLLIDES WITH PARKED ACFT WHILE BEING MARSHALLED AT MAF.
Narrative: STARTED TO TAXI FOR LCL PHOTO FLT, TXWY CLOSED FOR AIRSHOW USE ONLY. ACFT PARKED BOTH SIDES OF TXWY. WE WERE BEING MARSHALLED BUT THIS ACFT HAS NON STEERABLE TAILWHEEL AND IS DIFFICULT TO TAXI ON GND. WE HAD 16 KT WIND WHICH INCREASED RADIUS OF TURNING. WE STARTED 150 DEG R TURN. L WING STRUCK COWL OF PARKED AND UNMANNED T6. MINOR DAMAGE TO BOTH ACFT. PRESSURE TO COMPLETE PHOTO FLT AND WILLINGNESS TO TAXI IN TIGHT CONDITIONS ADDED TO ERROR IN JUDGEMENT. BOTH PLTS HAD THAT 'UNCOMFORTABLE' FEELING, BUT DIDN'T ADVOCATE 'DON'T DO IT.' TYPICAL CRM FAILURE.
