DFW 28 Floh//Eduard//1:48
« on: August 30, 2017, 07:17:26 PM »
Good Day!
Special thanks to Bughunter for drawing my attention on the kit’s issues and crucial point within the built. I have also tried for very first time to keep the prop running and I am quite satisfied with the result.
DFW Floh a.k.a flying egg:)

You have done a superb job in capturing the ungainly look of this most unattractive aeroplane, the paint work and rigging are excellent, I love the backdrop to your photos.

Nicely done all round K. You've done a masterful job on what, from following your progress, is a difficult Kit to do well. An ugly little devil she was in real life but you've completed a beautiful model!
Cheers,

That is a superb model of a rather ugly aeroplane. You have really captured the ungainly appearance of the original. Beautiful photos too.

What a fantastic Floh! Congratulation, it looks so great, definitely much better done than mine.

Truly outstanding, K!  Not an easy model, nor a pretty plane, but you've done a superb job on her and should be quite proud.
Cheers,

That's a great looking 'Floh' - congratulations, especially in 1:48 scale.
I've just completed the same model, although in 1:32 scale, so I can imagine the problems you faced building yours.
I've now posted my build of this quirky little aircraft.
