Mikro Mir and Mini Art Junkers F-13's

[keithjs]

I must admit these aren't my usual subect but I couldn't help myself as they are such an iconic aircraft and look, well, a little strange but I suppose its the design of the cockpit openings which to my mind look just like eyes..

Anyway, a little bit like comparing the two Wildcats on my previous post one can't help comparing the two kits even though they are a different variant with the Mikro Mir one having larger wings.

The Mikro Mir one is also a much more difficult build as regards to fit and quality of some of the smaller parts. It was a bit of a tussle I must admit.

The Miniart one though was a joy to build and also features better detailing throughout. The corrogation effect is also much better represented than the Mikro Mir one. It was fiddly at times particularly the engine and cockpit with a myriad of tiny photoetch parts and despite the complexities of the structure, parts fitted together perfectly.

I'm certainly looking forward to the floatplane version.

The Mikro Mir one is the yellow one and the Miniart one is silver.

Thanks for looking.

If you'd written "1/72" I would have eaten my shirt.  These are real beauties!  Well done.
