About product

Bücker Bü 131D in 1:48 scale from RS models

A kit of the classic Bücker Bü 131 training biplane in its D version in 1:48 scale from RS models. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Scale 1:48 makes sense for a small biplane: the finished model is compact but stays large enough for the build of the fuselage, the cockpits and the interplane struts to stand out.

The real subject

The Bü 131 Jungmann is a two-seat training biplane of mixed construction from the middle of the 1930s, with open cockpits arranged one behind the other and fixed landing gear. It was powered by an air-cooled inline engine. The aircraft was designed for basic pilot training and thanks to its pleasant flying qualities it spread to a whole range of countries, where it was also built under license. The D version saw the most extensive service of the type, and a number of machines stayed in use long after the war, in civil hands and at air shows to this day. For a modeler it is a rewarding subject: colorful civil and military schemes and the classic biplane silhouette.

Building and painting tips

Small biplanes call for patience when building the wing structure. Set the wings and the struts together dry first, so that you learn the real angles, and only then glue them. Glue the plastic parts with thin polystyrene cement and any resin or photo-etched additions with super glue. The interior of the open cockpits is clearly visible on this type, so finish and paint it before closing the fuselage. Add the bracing wires only after spraying and after applying the decals. A light filter or a very subtle shadow emphasis suits fabric with a visible rib structure and brings the shape of the covering out.

Who the model is for

  • For lovers of prewar and training aircraft
  • For modelers who want to try building a biplane
  • For collections of aircraft in 1:48
  • For builders with moderate experience who can handle struts and bracing wires

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It calls for more patience than a monoplane, above all because of the struts and setting the angle of the wings. A dry fit and gluing in stages help.

Jungmann is the name associated with the Bücker Bü 131 type, a two-seat training biplane. The D version is its most widespread form.

The exact contents of the package are not stated here. Go by the data given by the manufacturer on the box and in the instructions.

Add them only after spraying and applying the decals. Taut filament or stretched sprue attached with super glue works well.
