Why finish your stared projects, when you can start a new one, right? 🙂

Ok, this is going to take a lot of elbow grease. This kit's tooling was made in Poland in the '80s, so I'm expecting a rough ride.

Lublin R-XIII was an army cooperation plane, built in Poland in the early 30s. The design proved to be quite successful with over 270 units build, but it was completely obsolete when WWII started.

I chose the navy version on floats, because it operated in the area that I grow up, plus it looks cooler 🙂

After inspecting the kit I confirm it to be rough, but not as bad as I thought.

If anyone decides to build this plane I highly recommend checking out this link:

It's a work in progress book, full of great photos and drawings of R-XIII.
