Title: Phönix 20.16 (1/48)
Post by: Naimbs on February 06, 2015, 08:22:05 AM: Hi all,

I propose to you the construction of a new scratch build of an Austro-Hungarian prototype: the Phönix 40.16.

(http://flyingmachines.ru/Images7/Fighters/469-4.jpg)

The Phönix 20.16 mated a modified fuselage of the Hansa-Brandenburg D I (serie 28) with a new wings.

I show you the different stages of construction until now.

The fuselage is recovered from a HB D. I Sierra vacuform. It is highly modified ...

Wings:

on the Phönix. After going through it, I am amazed with the beautiful
work you have done! The see-through effect of the wing is superb and
I love your wood tones. Beautiful work, and I look forward to the finishing
updates, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I already found this post. What a great piece of art! And what a clever way to do the wings (including ribs...). The balsa wood prevents the whole affair from bending I think? I'll try this method with my next scratchbuilt. Awesome!
Best wishes

Everything you do looks so neat and crisp. The woodwork is absolutely great and you had a very good idea to use the KD PE fret as a template for the cockpit. I`m looking forward to another update of this amazing build!
