Moin Axel,
ich hatte vor vielen Jahren meine Schreibersche F 13 mit, ich meine tatsächlich japanischen, Piloten besetzt. Bodenpersonal gabs auch dazu. Weiß der Henker wo die herkamen, wahrscheinlich irgendeine Zeitschriftenbeilage. Den richtigen Scan hab ich natürlich nichtmehr, aber vielleicht reicht das ja als Anfangspunkt für die Detektivarbeit.
Viele Grüße
KatharinaHi
This paper crew members looks like addon from "KARTONOWKA 2/2002" from GPM

When you built up the fuselage, are the cardboard formers/bulkheads part of the kit or do you have to transfer from plan to cardboard?
Thanks 👍🏻
Generally, mostly I use "original/default" elements from publish and wire elements maked from templete. In models I use ready canopy selled in stores (if is available).
But sometimes if I see that designed solution is poor (like sometimes weak skeleton for big wings or huge areas without any reinforcements) I add some elements to strenght whole construction. Generally I use 0,5 and 1mm cardboarst "wastes" and wooden tooth/skewer sticks/planks (sometimes I change wire element to wooden). Less often I add wire elements.
Some stores offers ready 3D printed / resin elements (like wheels, small details, bombs, rockets, gun barrels), but I didn't try them yet. Maybe in future, who knows.

Hey
Engines covers
Outlet fins don't have reverse, so I glued It on color paper and roll. When they dry, I glue them to square frame
Next, outside elements (I decide to male joining tabs from black cardboard). And then put inside eleier made frame
The elements are a bit poorly fitted and need to be adjusted, especially the reduction element

Hey
Today cockpit segment fuselage part. First I form shape, then glue inside "glasses" in side windows. Next I put all on frame. Little bit shame, that inner side is white (only down are small pieces of colored parts).
When walls dry, I glue rest windows (top & front) cuted for single parts (easier to assembny).

And assembled cockpit segment

Hi
This time in plan is build a helicopter from Republic of South Africa - Atlas/Denel CSH2 Rooivalk from HOBBY MODEL. This publish is 3rd revision from 2004, but still it is an old school model with hand drawing elements
(this is offset print not poor quality ANSWER reprint
). So I know what it could be, knowing HOBBY MODEL quality and big problem with symetry in old models
.
So let's go.
For first - main center frame (I added stabilizers made of toothpicks for drying time)
And first element - I add parallel reinforcements from 1mm cardboard on both sides were in future will be glued engines elements (so that the fuselage element does not undulate)

Hey
It's nice, that You like it

Hello walkiria,
how do you close the gap with color?
greetings
Hi
I made thin stripe from color reserve
Landing hook
Aero airbrakes

...shouldn't the grey part not be also red?
*edit: I stand myself corrected, just found a picture of the original. You are right. The cover drawing from GPM is apparently also wrong.
I saw both versions, but this was more (on cover and model part are bad
). There is also no "bold" on rudder top
-

I second that completely. Nowadays, with computer added construction, completely unnecessary. For
me, this and the wrongly coloured rudder is basically a no-buy....
Nevertheless, you make the best out of it!
Regards, Thomas
Keep calm
- my rudder will be fabulous

Hi
This time - horizontal steering fins.
If wings skeleton was horrible unfunctional, this is a massacre. It do NOTHING - it's too weak (0,5mm). Better way was put there a toothpick or wire. Then it will be strong. Another bug? is part "87a". How put it in gight place wher You glue ealier all frame parts? Another remart is build frame elements on fuselage, not a seperate element, with is puted later in fuselage.

Hi
Wings - continued
Flaps (small remark - in variant 2 with open both big flaps, upper side part is light grey, no dark grey like wing part)
Wings end - bug - mistaek colors of position lights, they are on opposite sides. Small tab on end is unnecessary - to cut out
Wings module
Landing gears bays (without details for the moment)

Hey
I scan all Your fingerprints
you're screwed

Hi
Small weekend progress - main wings.
Skeleton construction is unusual strange, and .......... unfunctional. Plate element is weak (only 1mm tight). Oblong element take wing shape, but do nothing else. They don't strenght all structur. The whole element bends under its own weight. They should be a cross element to take strength (or little bit remake center plate and add a piece of wire or wood). To me was too late, frame was dry. So I add a piece of wood "medical" mouth plank in center to strength area where will be glued landing gears - so they don't break (probably). I add some 1mm cardboards reinforcements in center for stability

Hi
After tail and pilot canopy, time forfuel tank in hump.
It's a bit shame that the publisher didn't make a few duplicates fuselage parts for the humpbacked and non-humped versions. The structure of the model is such that it would be possible to give such a choice without any problems (we must make full tail elements and canopy).
In the book are only transverse stiffeners (marked), the longitudinal ones I added from myself
All parts I form dry on this hump frame. Next I join them together.
And as one element fit and stick to fuselage

Hey
Further work on the cockpit. Pilot seat inside. I glued to a wall part behind the seat (because drawings are little bit haotical, I forget made this earlier)
Small error
Side elements are only black - they haven't grey color/part? It looks like this are only inner sides, without outsides parts. Black isn't outer sidest? I don't see something laike this on plane photos. So I use color reserve, and make grey outer sides.
Not ideal, but may be.
Canopy frame elements don't have inner parts (stay white from inside)
A glance at the fuselage parts with dry fitting of nose segments

Hello walkiri,
a very clean build! I love this plane small and powerful...
Yeah, but in many places this model is unnecessary too complicated
. Probably only pilot seats have more parts than whole first Skyhawk model from FlyModel
