Kriss Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 LUBLIN R.XIII D 1:32 LUKGRAPH It was supposed to be from FLY both "Tunnan" but life has verified the plans as always. As a tribute to the fallen crew there is Lublin R.XIII D in 1:32 from LUKGRAPH. The model will be built in the colours of the 1st Platoon 26 EO (observation squadron) of the 2nd Air Regiment Cracow. The probable designation of the aeroplane is the letter E on the fuselage, the military number of the aeroplane is 56-126 and the under wing number is 16 K. The crew consisted of Lt. obs. Leon Wrzeszcz and Staff Sergeant Pilot Adam Baran. On 1.09.1039 the aircraft was shot down by ground fire and crashed in the village of Piasek near Strzebinia / Lubliniec, the crew died. The deadline for making the model is very short, because I want to make it in time for the unveiling of the newly-made memorial at the site of the plane crash. So much for the story, and now for the model; in the box we have everything we need to build it. From the extras there is an instrument panel available for it in the company YAHU MODELS YMA3231, which I will use in the model. Thanks to the companies LUKGRAPH and YAHU MODELS for their help. ps. There will be a little surprise in the next post. HB252, Boch, themongoose and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Cool build with a great objective! God speed on your build! Kriss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Very cool project! I'm amazed that Yahu (or anyone, really) produced some aftermarket for this kit. Looking forward to your progress, Kriss! Kev Kriss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 So now it's time for that surprise. There was a memorial erected at the site where the plane went down, but the tooth of time has done its work and a new memorial is now being erected. I am also taking part in this personally, I know such a boastful post but sometimes you have to have one. Thanks to the association that took it upon itself to erect the new memorial, we were able to reach the last living witness to the event. We also managed to interview 94-year-old Mrs Ziora, who was 10 years old at the time and was at the site. Mrs Ziora told us a very interesting story about the heroic fight of the Polish crew against the German infantry. Returning to the memorial, I liked the wings that will be placed there. Interview with Mrs Ziora. Wings under construction. And already at my place in front of the workshop. Hans, chukw, HB252 and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 What I could manage to do at home on the wings for the memorial is done, the rest will already be done at my work. My boss agreed and I was given a room to paint the wing. I can't help but thank you for your help. patricksparks, mc65, HB252 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 You have no idea what the look on the face of an employee at a paint-mixing shop when I told him that I needed to buy car paints to paint the plane, specifically the wings. I had to explain everything to him and tell him the story of the fallen crew. I can tell you that he surprised me very pleasantly, I did not expect such an involvement in choosing the right camouflage colours. And the work continues both on the model and on the wing. Today only the progress on the wing. Landrotten Highlander, Paul in Napier, patricksparks and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 A few pics of painting the camouflage on the wings, the ones that go on the monument. And on the model the work goes on, for now I am doing the interior of the fuselage.

Kriss Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 You could say that the work is finished, now it's up to me to authorise whether everything is as it should be and to do a dry fitting on the pedestal of the monument. Even my son Peter got involved in the work on the monument by painting with me. Furie, Jim Barry, Paul in Napier and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 The work is in progress and I am trying to make tension in the truss, and I purchased the turnbuckles from Lukgraph. LSP_Kevin, Kagemusha, chukw and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
