Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkonig - Need some help please


diamant

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

My father is finishing our Tiger Moth series and I have started to look for our next projects.

 

We are very close to achieving one of the key points in our goal which is building all the German aircraft used or tested by the British / Commonwealth with the "new" markings applied. We have done 137 models and these are the missing ones (we still have to do a final check)

 

- B&V222  We only have one kit and there are two options.

- Junkers 352 We have two kits which is enough (next on the queue)

- Junker 52 We have 6 kits (not sure if it will be enough)

- Junker F13 We have one model to build.

- Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkonig (On the line)

- Junker 86 We have 5 kits to do (SAAF).

 

My father has started with the Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkonig but we only have some references from the internet.

Does anyone could help us with the colour?. Which could have been the colour applied? I am referring to the photos with the RAF markings applied.

 

Thank you very much

 

Cheers

Santiago

One of my colleagues built one of these.......

https://www.scalemates.com/topics/topic.php?id=11647

in RAF colours. From memory, aluminium dope with roundels and serials on fuselage, underwing serials only.

I think this was his main reference

Hi Ed.

 

Thank you very much for your comments on this topic. We will probably go for the aluminium dope.

 

There is a second photo on that site which shows the roundels underwing.

Does anyone know what this inscription reads?

The LF kit gives RLM02 as the overall colour (standard Luftwaffe colour for trainers/prototypes I believe) and when tested by the RAE the German markings were painted over with a slightly darker grey.

I don't think it was finished in aluminium dope as there aren't any reflections or shiny parts to the finish. The inscription says 'Zaunkonig'.

Hi Steve,

 

Thank you very much for your post. I think that I will go for the RLM02 as the overall colour  with a slightly darker grey for the German markings.

 

Great. We will ask to our friend for that inscription in order to be able to do this model.

 

Cheers

Hi Steve

 

My father has finished the model. We will ask our friend Luis for the decal for the inscription that says 'Zaunkonig´in order to finish it.

It is a nice addition to our collection of captured German aircraft.
