[QUOTE=..just take a look at the Revell-Kit´s wings … The trailing edge / ailerons doesn´t match at all, right?
It looks like the kit has the later long wing with parallel chord ailerons. There were several wing aileron combinations over the years and doubtless many unusual variations that have now been forgotten in the mists of time. I defy any “expert” to state that you are categorically wrong ,whatever you decide.
It’s your model after all!

“Bomber” was fiction of course. 31st of June and all that.

Movies are not the truth. Period.
But there again- what is?

Evening all,

in 1923 the Air Ministry purchased a single Junkers F13 for all-metal-tests. According to Air Britain´s “RAF Aircraft J1-J9999” ist was an “early machine with short span wings” (14,4m, don´t know what´s that in ft.).

However, all 3-side-views I´ve found show always the “big span” 17,75m-wings. Revell´s F13 model kit ist also a “big span” version. The easiest way to reproduce a “short span” one would be clipping the wings to the correct lenght, but I wonder if the shape will be correct. Any idea if other photos of the real J7232 exist? Or just a good 3-side-view? :confused:

It would be a mistake just to clip the wing I think – the aileron shape would also probably need to be modified.
I understood that the UK received at least one F13 as reparations post WW1 . Years ago ( c.1970)I did see images of at least one aircraft in the RAE photo Archives at Farnborough. I am unaware of how much of this huge collection actually survived ( The first images ,incidentally were glass plates- starting with shots over London from an airship operated by Cody).

Doe’s any know of a picture of Mr Barnard and his Sis V, perhap’s just after his Race win.??? I would like to see how it was painted[/QUOTE]
I think this is the shot.Its originally a Flight Photo ,so full acknowledgement to them.

Who knows! Unlikely, though. However, I seem to recall a recent story whereby the Germans wanted aeroplanes back from a museum in Poland or Czech republic?? Perhaps someone can tell me I didnt imagine this??? Andy

I seem to recall that some of the pre-war Berlin Collection ( bombed during the war by the USAAF) was removed during the Soviet Block era and moved to Warsaw Pact Museums ( Warsaw and Prague Kbely?) – including the remains of the Me “209” by memory. Perhaps this is what you heard?

Regarding the two Roumanian Siskin V shots on this thread it is perhaps of interest to note that in both cases the area around the a/c number on the rudder has been subject to a bit of alteration.
Possibly this is yet another illustration of the pitfalls of relying too much upon perceived markings and serials as primary evidence when attempting to establish the identities of individual aircraft. In this case it could be so mundane as the rudders merely having being swopped around.
