Welcome Marcel!
I'm not really leave the WWI path. I built the Junkers D.I already, a type from 1918. This F-13 was build one year later and I was fascinated by pictures of the internal structures - the principles are nearly identical.
After I noticed the kit with the nice box art (painted by Eugeny Knupfer - the guy behind Small Stuff) on the EME for a fair price I had to take it.
The box is somehow big, so I need to build it to save space 😉 Another reason to start it was a chat with Christoph, because he had trouble with the undercarrige in his build. So I spend today some hours for a new undercarriage.

Thank you very much for your interest! A warm welcome to each one of you!
I was hoping for a quick project as there are not many parts, but it will take a while due to it's size.

The fit is different, from perfect to ugly deformed parts. At least the provided masks cut form ORAMASK fits on the cabin windows inside and outside.

A warm welcome mates!
@Martin I will put it aside to the other Junkers Junkers D.I - Short fuselage | Project by bughunter (1:48) so together they have two wings 😉
@Christoph No need to apologise! Your build invited me to look into this type and finally to buy the kit!

I want to have a rotating prop as on my other models, so I made a new wooden prop with a little bearing.
Over the time the F-13 used different airscrews and mountings. Wood or later also metal was used.
The kit provides only a airscrew with a clamping aluminium cone but a check of original photos of my marking do not show one (I have not checked the other possible markings). It looks exactly like the one in the Budapest Aviation Museum: [img1]
So I tried to replicate that one.
The airscrew of the F-13 in the "Deutsches Museum" München with a aluminium cone looks beautiful too, but has a different shape and metal leading edge.

Thank very much for your nice comments - highly appreciated!
Now the build is hold for some days, due to the famous Mosonshow. My first visit there. CU!

The trend is towards a second air screw so I made another airscrew of a different type. New pictures from 14.
I used the F-13 of the Deutsches Museum as a template, see the great pictures here: igor113.livejournal.com/180302.html
Yesterday I made the airscrew, today the metal parts, final shaping and painting.
This special shape was a bit demading, but I wanted to see if I'm able to replicate it.

@Christoph(Postbote), you will need a 2.4mm drill to open the kit mount for the bearing, and a 3mm for a little recess on the front, And CA of course.
And I need your address. Please send me a Private Message.

I hope you will like this airscrew!

I don't have much free time at the moment, but I can't pass this up.

Thank you mates, I like it too. Now only the new owner of this second propeller needs to pop up ...

Not much happened the last days. At least I worked on the instrument panel (not sure what will be visible later).
The dreadful interior design has robbed me of my desire. What is this? Maybe I should have waited for MiniArt.

Carve it out and scratch build. I know it's a lot of work, but once we accept what we are faced with, the journey begins much better! I feel your pain!

Nice progress Bugsy!
The people that'll sit on the side are from a higher stature and as such are larger than life. Hence the big sofa 😉

Beautifull instrument panel 👍
Sadly it won't be visible. 🙁
