The publisher is new for me, but when I saw this plane, I knew I must have it.
Cardboard for laminating parts, a transparent foil for the windows and wire is included with the kit. It is printed in semi-shiny silver. And it comes with a very detailed picture description. All text is in German, but there's not much to read.

What an interesting plane, and kit. Thank you for bringing it to light. Good of you to attach a link the history of it as well.
Very tragic that the crash due to a broken contol rod was the cause of death of co-designer Georg Wulf. No airline took it up, in spite of what I understand was a totally perfect flight record after that initial crash. Pity. I note that the demonstration tour to several countries took the aircraft to Sweden as well. I wonder where it might have been demonstrated. Perhaps Malmö, in the south of Sweden, not too far from Germany. Can I add some historical information? The demonstration in November 1931 in the UK was mentioned in the Wikipedia link you supplied, so I searched the Global Flight Archive for anything about the Focke Wulf F-19 during 1931 and came up with the articles (4+1 pages). Very interesting! They are unfortunately just a bit too large to attach, but here are the links: Introduction to the aircraft, 2 January 1931 (page 1, 2, 3, 4) Demonstration article 13 November 1931 (one page) - L.

Let's start with the passenger's cabin. The outside holds the windows.
The inside holds three passenger seats. The bench is not yet folded

Cockpit and passenger cabin interior are fit into the cabin's outer wall. It was a little tricky to fit everything in so the windows are congruent.

For the nose, I start with the front wheel. It is made from 5 layers of 0,6 mm cardboard and sanded.
The whole wheel case is then fitted into the nose Parts.

These parts now have to be combined.
The nose fits very well, but the upper cockpit covering is quite tricky to fit and the result is not so satisfying.

The side walls of the tail section already have the control cables mounted already.
Again, the tail section is fitted to the passenger cabin. And the fuselage is ready.
