Junkers F.13 - the German passenger plane

The first prototype of this plane took off for its first flight in 1919 and was the first all-metal construction plane with corrugated duralumin sheet cladding in the world. It was the first passenger plane, in which passengers traveled in an enclosed heated and ventilated cabin and were strapped into comfortable seats with seat belts. For the first time in the world, this plane was equipped with two pilot seats with separate control bodies, which made it possible to pilot the plane in shifts and train less experienced pilots. But often in short-distance flights, the right vollant was dismantled. The plane is equipped with primitive navigation equipment, consisting of a compass, speed, rev indicators, oil pressure sensor. The plane also lacked lighting, positional lights and a radio station, but was reputed to be "indestructible". Junkers F.13 is used by 70 airlines in 30 countries. Until the end of production in 1933, 322 airplanes of this type were produced. One of them was interned in Lithuania and used in the Lithuanian Air Force. It was one of the first prototypes and it differed in a dozen elements from the model, presented in the edition, and had the name "Anelisse".

An uncomplicated, well-detailed and well-designed model for modelers of all experience. Only advanced beginners and modelers with little experience are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and this should not be one of the first models of increased complexity, You make. Two complete airplane models can be glued from the publication: with registration marks P-PALG, called "Gustav" and owned by the company PLL "Aerolot" in 1929, and D 582 by the company "Lufthansa". In addition, it is possible to make models by offset (less realistic metal unpainted surfaces) and chalk (almost not real metal color) printed cladding details.
