I would like to realise two of the three markings from the kit, one of which is an F.13 celebrity of the first hour: "Annelise" (without the long "I") 🙂
The first round of the build is currently progressing without any problems... although I am already aware of some fitting difficulties! I enjoyed the seating: open air in the front and the fight for survival, in the good little parlour in the back, old-school leather interior and a ticking wall clock while sipping tea!

As always, Roland looks very good up to here. How is the fit of the wing trailing edges?

Lovely work on the interior.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you both very much! Dieter for your kind reply, I can't say yet, as I'm still busy assembling the hull - but I'll keep you and you up to date!

The construction of the two Junkers machines is progressing! The nice thing is that the sanding of the glued seams on the fuselage and surfaces will be very limited, at least where corrugated sheet metal edge meets corrugated sheet metal edge. But their " grooves" have to be well continued - also quite entertaining!
Here you can see the whole unvarnished truth of a freshly glued raw state: nothing has been cleaned up yet, just the worst areas have been filled or filled with plastic card.

Taking a seat, of course!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Feel very welcome, Robert! 🙂

Great choice! Junkers corrugated sheet aircraft are very interesting. Definitely a nice machine to add to your collection.

By the way, I kind of automatically assumed the cockpit was enclosed and the cockpit "portholes" were glass. The shape of the fuselage directly invites this idea. Only your comment and subsequent study of the documentation for this aircraft made me realize that I was wrong.

Thank you mates! Yes, the Junkers F.13 is so unusual and uncommon that it never ceases to amaze!

The two F.13s are currently perched on my workbench like two large black ravens, their 'feathers' gleaming with the rich black that will serve as a primer for the subsequent layers of Alclad. I can't wait to see how this will work and what it will reveal!

I'm taking a seat too.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Very appreciated!
