Box Art for the Junkers W 34Hi (SH72491)

 Standa Hájek has successfully completed the box art for the upcoming SH72491 Junkers W 34Hi kit. The image shows a Junkers W 34Hi from WeFlugSt W./88.

This is also reflected by the Flugmeteorograf under the wing, which the kit will, of course, include.

Some of the original moulds have been replaced with new ones which can assure much better quality notable mainly in the smaller parts. The new moulds are 3D machined and the images below show very well the levels of detail this new method brings. This so to speak old-new bird is scheduled for 2023 release.
