Junkers F13 Floatplane by MiniArt 1:48

[KSaarni]

Loving the Junkers - what a cracking subject and a very interesting kit. It's the first Miniart kit I've seen built. The engine looks excellent.

Thanks Stuart, hope you will soon start with the Dora Beaver floatplane, also really curious of it!

While the engine was "drying", started with the instrument panel of the F13. Also a rather good model compared with the real one




First priming


Then aluminium


Decaling



And finally some weathering


Rather happy with it, even if the tachometer cauge is annoyingly off-set.

And as last but not least, some test-fitting of the fuselage pieces




Let's see what next!

That's all looking really nice Kari - the IP looks great. I wouldn't worry about the offset dial - I've seen some vintage aircraft where they were all over the place.

That looks great, Karri!

Very cool project, Kari!
