Ka-Efka Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Never thought that would happen. It'll be at least two for me 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rui Silva Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Wonderful idea, I'll buy at least one for sure as the Portuguese Navy bought 5 K.43s floatplanes and the Portuguese Army bought a single W.34L. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'm hoping the family will include the W33 'Bremen'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarpen Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I'm hoping to be able to make one of these Junkers W.34 in Swedish markings (designated Tp 2A) Edited June 3, 2020 by flarpen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopperhed Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Nice! I'll have to look up what the differences in the versions are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Holden Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hope they do their homework. There are multiple different wing plans, with different amounts of sweepback and fuselages with 'high' and 'low' tops. Different engines, canopies, ailerons and tail shapes......

B.sin Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I guess WWII subjects sell better than modern military aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivind Lunde Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 So many versions of this plane, I'm afraid most of us will be disappointed not to get the one we need. Norway had one of these (W-34hi) before the war used as a postal plane. I would love to build that one, so fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxdecal Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I hope they provide the Bremen version at some stage with the inline engine Regards, Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing remotely current, apart from three examples of the Kora K.43 on Hannants - one example each, so be quick!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway had one of these (W-34hi) before the war used as a postal plane. I would love to build that one, so fingers crossed! I think you are spot on with this thought... I already have prepared myself for the need of doing conversions. Or being satisfied with what comes from Mikro Mir (all based on the assumption they get it right of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivind Lunde Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yep. But that said, I think my chances of getting the right version is higher than average as the W34hi was one of the major versions with almost 1000 built. I'm sure there will be some details needed altering or adding, but if your chosen subject is a wi or ha, I'm pretty sure it will be covered by the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the comments of the first FB post here in the thread (in Russian originally): - will there be 1/72 too? - yes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
