You can try to build in Aerolloyd or early Aerolot markings.

KayFranz started following LDM 1:48 CIERVA C30A Autogiro , PZL P-37A Los (IBG Models 1/72) - FINISHED , Spoked wheels for an early bird and 2 others

WTF? These are the same renders that were published in the summer, with the same errors. MiniArt - you didn't make the corrections I wrote to you about? The aircraft in the configuration shown in the renderings will certainly not be able to paint Dz-33 markings. This is NOT early production.

But the set includes the later, longer wings (17.75 m). as installed in the Annelise prototype. Look at sprues arrangement - the wings are on separate ones, which suggests that there will also be shorter ones.

I will only add that I am very positively surprised at how well Mikromir reproduced the silhouette of the plane and its dimensions. What's more, the number of sheet metal waves on the plane's skin is correct! As far as I know, they did not have access to factory plans and did most of their work based on photographs. It's not that simple, because this plane has many versions and modifications, so a lot of effort is needed to avoid making a mistake when collecting materials and not using an element in the set that was used in the Junkers 13, but at a different time. Looking at the first renders, published two years ago (they are at the beginning of the thread) and the final model, it appears that at some point they decided to completely throw away their previous work and start making the silhouette from scratch. Effect - wow! This is the first Junkers 13 model done really well. Revell's model only stayed on the market because there was no other one. I described its basic disadvantages on my blog (https://hangarfranza.blogspot.com/2022/04/junkers-revella-opis-szczery-bez.html). So now we are waiting for someone to make a model in 1:72...

15 seconds after taking it out of the box - initial rating 8/10. I am positively surprised! Now I will look at it and measure it.

Yaa... But it still needs a lot of correction. They already know about the incorrect hull cross-section. As for the rest - it's hard to comment with such a limited view.

Don't get excited. This looks more like an intention to join the race for a client than a work report. For now, the render is shown. Single.

LDM 1:48 CIERVA C30A Autogiro
KayFranz replied to Farmer matt's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
In the decals, there are no weight descriptions (under the stabilizer), names of the type (above the flag or swastika), there is also no third registration of D -EKOP - it was on the upper surface of the stabilizer. It is also worth making thin red stripes on Fairey Reed. And beware! D-EKOP was all silver. Good photos show the difference in the color of the hull and the rest and the white field of the German flag (Weimar). -
