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.

10 hours ago, dragonlanceHR said:
a lot of work
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.-

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).-

It's Su-22, not Su-20. Last flight of polish Su-20 was in 1998 (or 1999?).

Please note that the oil tank is only on the left, on the right it is an ordinary canvas cover.

NMF is a natural metal finish, but what does BNF mean?
After all, the whole hull was fabric covered, with several metal inspection covers (or a luggage up the hull). -
The model was developed in the early 1990's, so it was possible that the colors from the instructions are incorrect. Surely twice used in the table of color descriptions "G" - once as a black color, and the second time - as brown. And here it should be "H", as in the drawings.
When describing the colors of the seat can the letter "H" is the color of the belts? Because the seat itself is marked with the letter "C". Seats (armchairs) were completely metal, without upholstery. Instead of soft upholstery, parachutes were used ...
I hope this picture will help you choose the colors of cushions and other elements:

Did you paint the seats brown?
That's how it looks, but should be a light-plated. Both seats were made of aluminum.
If you have any other questions - ask you boldly. RWD-8 is one of my favorite aircraft.rgds, KF

Hi,
When You taking pictures of the model, You have strengthened color saturation?
Your Boom looks quite unnaturally, such "vivid" colors are exaggerated. In my opinion, it would be appropriate to try to desaturate colors, use more gray, dirty shades than such strong colors.
But this may only a matter of processing and preparing this photo. How does your model look really?
Rgds, KF-

Thanks, gentlemen.
As I thought - probably there was no one, a particular color painting of postal aircraft in early years (ie until 1925). Because in 1925, the United States Congress passed that Federal Mail could choose the arbitrary commercial suppliers (different on different lines), so after 1925 it was definitely not possible to unify painting. -
Hi,
I have a question - I know a bit strange, but I can not find information about it in any book or on websites.
Are U.S. Mail airplanes around 1920 have some common, fixed color of painting or, however, planes were in their natural paintings, given by the manufacturer?
If the color was specified - what exactly?
Health for everyone ... -

D260 from the left
Here is a float from my catalog called "Junkers F13". Is it exactly as you need - I am not sure, something was constantly changed during production and it does not have to be the same as your planes had. In my opinion, it should have four fittings for fixing the supports connecting the float to the hull, here you can only see three clearly, the fourth is almost invisible, but if you look carefully - it's there. The photo shows a view from the back side, the structure should be common to both floats - symmetrical.

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