1/72 Bucker Jungmann

Sep 07, 2003 10 Replies

Hello,



Having not built many models since I was a little boy, I have now got some empty shelves in my house and have started to build a collection of types that I have flown in.



Latest is the Bucker Jungmann, but does a model of this classic German biplane exist? Have tried all my local model shops over here in the UK, but haven't found anything yet.



Hope someone can supply me with an answer.

Other types would be interested to know about are the Auster AOP9 and the Max Holste Broussard.


I think HUMA of Germany made one. Hannants list a few Bucker kits, but none called specifically Jungmann... Try

and search for Bucker at 1/72 (even if you don't want to buy from there)

Heller did one (nice) in 1/72 scale, but I don't know its availability now.

That was the Bu133 Jungmeister, single seat radial engined version

As Wulf says. Huma do a Bu131 Jungmann in 1/72

Don't know of a 1/48th kit

Heller did the Bu133 single seat radial engined one

For the AOP9, it's a vacform from Hallam Vac (nice kit) for the Broussard, I recall a French resin one, and I think a IJM one is planned (Azur?)

IIRC, the Jungmann was the Bü 181 and Huma does have one.

There are 1/72 scale models of all of these.

Here is a link to a vacuform in 1/48

Which version of the Auster was the one made by Airfix as the Auster Antarctic? I put that one together years ago. Its a nice little kit. Also, I seem to remember an Auster kit in 1:48 or maybe 1:50. I bought a couple of kits out of Las Vegas that went under the name International Models (or some such) that were repops of older European (maybe British) kits. Unfortunately that company has gone the way of Frog or AMT. Note; I never actually SAW the Auster kit, just that it was listed as also being made by this company.

Humm yes, you are right. So I don't know for the Jungman, sorry.

Just a big thankyou to all those, who have replied to my original request. I will now try Hannants over here in the UK for the Jungmann and will look out for the kits of the Broussard and the Auster AOP9.

I now know where to ask, when I get a flight in something else. Whatever that may be!!
