Junkers f.13 revell 1/72 wip finished!!

Added last pieces, painted the propeller (first try of wood simulatiuon), handles to doos etc etc

..and the junkers is finished  enjoy it!

Actually out of shelves space  so for now the f-13 and the reggiane re-2001 are out of natural contest!

here the complete gallery

Lots of newbee errors i did on it but was just a relax and fun building 

thanx for viewing

After 3 layers of gloss coat

..was probably not enough, because decals leaves some solvering even after lots of needle punctures, lots of supersol applications and cutting

main problems was on the black parts of wings!1

just started the saab viggen... LOL this, the re-2001 and thr westland scout are near to complete ,need to be occupied with something :D

Coming along nicely. Looks like your keeping busy with this and the Condor.

more pictures and stripes fixed

this time needed masks :)

same preocess for the floating

mixed humbrol silver with glossy clear and put on the little plane the nmf with the bushes, the only way i know to have an acceptable nmf with normal humbrol metals and brushes 

used no masks 

i forget .. to mask the upper black large stripe on the wings top and the silver stripe  under wings

ok slowly!! but i forget to update!!

The complete room 

mummy still alive..

... and withouth bandages

the upper fuselage had not a perfect fit, but here after sanding and the matt black

Slooowly

Very interesting looking machine bsyamato, making good progress as well.

Cockpit is ready!!

Also scribbed the other dood on the left side

Poor updates!!! metalized  the cockpit and refined and primed the propeller 

Unfortutalely the only option for the sea version included in the kit is an  Austrian subjetc

Heres the same plane finishe by a german modeller, a top build!!!

pictures of your finished G-24 borg? kit seems out of print actually

Looking good there bsyamato!

I have build the very simiar Revell Junker G-24 (old plastikard?) years ago. Looks like you are doing a better job then I did then.

The J.13 is indeed a very interesting subject ith its long production run and many user. If you would want to you could build dozens of them...

LOL for the era was the top of comfort on the details revell included curtains. 

In mind to put some people in '20-30 clothes from one of my preiser 1/87 people set.. but slowly

This is looking rather nice. It made me smile when i saw the pic of the seats. Its rather funny to think of any aircraft haveing a sofa and wicker chairs as compared to modern aircraft.

Little progress finally

start to paint some detail inside, not found color pictures to do an accurate work, will simulate the leather on the back sofa and pilots seats padding, the other two seat wil try the wicker

hope in some update soon

will try one of unused decals direcly on he corrugated plastic to avoid surprises lately

G38 and do-X are on my wishlist, also the boeing clipper, i'm usual military or sci-fi builder but some of these old civilian planes fashinating me  

It may be better to paint the numbers.  My kit decals were awful, stiff and resistant to set and sol.  It's not easy to paint them either.  I made new decals with my ALPS but since the numbers are black an inkjet may work.  I also removed almost all the clear because clear loves to silver on the corrugations and changes the color of the silver wing as well.  Same thing when I built the G.38 but the corrugations are really tiny grooves on it.

thanx for the advice Jeaton but this will be a relax build ,will search only for correct colors on the inners seats etc.

Planning to do the seaplane version.. the decals sheet have 4 options for land version but only one for the seaplane the unit is the one from osterrichische luftverkehrs AG olag, used in Austria on september 1923

i'm curious about decals power to wrap on the corrugates surface

We've had a lot of discussion on the F.13 on the Wings of Peace Yahoo group.  Revell has issued two different versions of the kit, different in the way the fuselage corrugations are laid out.  But the F.13 is a hard one to model because so many incremental changes took place during it's fairly long life, and it really eventually just morphed into the W.34.

Too haste i used to close fuselages sure to not find good reference on the web withouth search but insted lots of references about this little metal bird:

http://harmashatarhegy.hupont.hu/56/junkers-f13

find the engine support structures too... btw the engine bay included two sides pieces not only the precut piece that revell give..  work to do before to close the two fuselage, too late

bsyamato

<SNIP>

For the engine probably best thing is to leave it closed , kit includes only the engine but no vivible structures

Opportunity to scratch build!!  That's probably what I'd be lost in right now.

Thanx for comments, decals include 5 or 6 choises (or more? ) from differents operators, but for the floatplane if i remember only two, probably a 1923 subject used in austria. Want another copy to build the land version

For the engine probably best thing is to leave it closed , kit includes only the engine but no vivible structures

Nice to see something different. I had to look this aircraft up and seems is had a lot of operaters. What markings will you be putting on it.

Cool.  A civil bird, AND a floatplane.  I'm interested.
