Swiss luggage manufacturer Rimowa financed the manufacture of this Junkers F13 replica and is building more for interested customers. Formerly HB-RIM, the aircraft was registered N13JU recently. The replica is very close to the original save for the Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial used as the powerplant and more modern landing gear. The German - Swiss project was launched in 2009 with the aircraft's first flight in 2016. Museum examples were studied and old manufacturing processes revived to ensure accuracy.
