Lublin R XIII.D (yet to be decided) 1/48 scale Mirage Hobby

[B-17engineer]

Alright guys, here's some of the pictures from the research I have done and reading through some PDF files Wojtek sent me! (Big thank you there!)

Alot of these illustrate just the general overview of the aircraft. I was curious if anyone could find a picture of the cockpit for the RXIII.D and post it? Because I have found pictures of other variants but they aren't all the same.

Anyways heres some pictures

Very nice Harry. THe cockpit of the Lublin R XIII was very basic. To be honest all you need to make it is shown in these drawings above, including the indicator panel. The base for all devices in there was a truss (framework) made of welded of steel pipes and stiffened with steel wire.

Looks simple enough! I'm not even sure what pieces they gave me in terms of the cockpit so I'm going to take a look later tonight or tomorrow and then try and formulate a game plan for it.

Here are some sprue shots, directions, and just overall shot of the workbench

It actually quite a small aircraft! For 1/48 scale I was surprised at the size

That looks cool!
I am a sucker for the more obscure aircraft.
If you can hang loose for a few more days, this would make for an interesting addition to the "between the wars" GB!

Didn't even think of that, when does it start?

 

[Crimea_River]

More than a few days. It doesn't start til Nov 1. We've just started the Carrier Based aircraft GB so if you can show this was launched off a carrier you can enter now!

 

[B-17engineer]

Hmm maybe will jump in next one, gonna start this one

Cool looking bird Harry, looking forward to some progress.

Very interesting bird Harrison. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Even though I'll be gone for two weeks starting tomorrow.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thank you gents!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Lots of great information and pictures for this one Harrison. Can't wait to see you start it. Are you going to attempt any of the rigging?

 

[B-17engineer]

I'm going to give it a go! Its not that much so I think it'd be a great plane to try it on

 

[Wayne Little]

looks rather interesting Harrison!

Yep, sorry! I got my days screwed up.
There are several ways of dealing with rigging. I will send you the address to a dedicated WW1 modeling site, there is a tutorial on several methods.

Thanks very much! Really appreciate it

Good one H, looking forward to seeing it progress.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks T, will have some pictures later for you guys.

Also, going to need help with the interior colors if someone could be ever so kind to point me in the right direction

 

[Wurger]

I think all colours are shown in the kit instruction. Have you checked?
