Ha! Well I can't argue with that! ☺️ I got my info from Scalemates. Seems they got it wrong then! But their Facebook page does state they're (now) based in Poland: https://www.facebook.com/miniart.models/

I totally bought the MikroMir kit to support their effort, as I normally stick to WW2 subjects. But with a little tinkering I may just be able to make a Luftwaffe bird out of it. Regardless, those ribs will look awesome with some metallic paint and a wash. PS. MiniArt is Polish.

What the…!? Well… I just bought the MikroMir one and it is awesome! 😎

KayFranz thanks for your review! It’s great that we now have an accurate F.13, and even in my favourite scale too. I really hope this kit will sell well enough to justify additional releases. I’ll definitely be buying it! 😎

I recall that Bob sold off the final stocks of his books a few years ago via https://www.woodenpropeller.com/forumvB/forum/wooden-propeller-identification/early-wooden-propellers/4272- His website used to be http://www.aeroclocks.com but it's down now.

Beautiful work! What colours did you use? Mr Hobby? They look very good. The rivets add nice detail, but the real plane had almost no visible rivets. They were covered in putty, like was standard practice for fast Luftwaffe aircraft (jets in particular). Only the lower wing, behind the main spar, had exposed rivets. The rest was made smooth. So if you ever build another one, you could save yourself a lot of time 😅 Great work all the same! I like the weathering, there is plenty but it doesn’t overpower the plane 👍

Superb mod and well documented too! Excellent 😎

Those are some notable blanks! For 1/48 and 1/32 your only accurate option would be your favourite Bf 109 G kit (for 1/32 the Hasegawa or Revell kits are best, for 1/48 best use the Tamiya kit) together with the SBS conversion set, which I helped design. The set is spot on accurate, unlike any previous kit or conversion. I hope an 1/72 set is to follow, but this is outside of my control. https://www.sbsmodel.com/search/buchon Note there are Tripala conversions as well. https://www.sbsmodel.com/search/tripala

Sorry to revive this old post. Cees, were any traces found of D-Day stripes? I imagine PZ174 would look very similar to PZ181 YP-E here: https://no23squadron.wordpress.com/2013/12/08/from-the-horses-mouth/

Wow! This is amazing! Fabulous work and thanks for showing your progress. Very inspirational!

Great review. Sadly your confirm my worries about the Hasegawa kit and the reason it's not been built and probably never will. But I'll see how you'll progress, interesting project! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your findings here.

I may have something. It's not much but may renew your interest in the G.V. Please drop me a note :)

Good grief, has it really been a year? Well, good news: the 1/32 Buchon conversion set is now available! I've received my complimentary copy and I was blown away by the quality of the resin casting (done by SBS Hungary). The detail is excellent! Some of it is so fine, I needed a magnifying glass to appreciate it. https://www.facebook.com/AttitudeAviationAs/ - use the "shop now" button and the seller will be in contact. Or go directly to this form. The kit was designed with the Hasegawa 1/32 donor kit in mind, but modellers have found it to be equally adaptable to the more commonly available, and cheaper, Revell kit. I've read some of the detail on the Revell kis is better than on the older Hasegawa one, and the weakest area of that kit, the nose, is replaced anyway.
