Title: 1/48 - Zerbe Air Sedan by AviS
Post by: hiddeous1973 on August 07, 2022, 02:06:17 AM

Just released

Ok, I know, it not WW!, it is actually from 1921, but it is most certainly more than 1 wing and very, very weird and interesting!!!
It actually flew, once, for about 300 meters, but that is still an actual flight to me!!

But also very rare and info about this is extremely thin, so..... Does anybody out there or in here have some more info not listed on wikipedia or the 2 pictures available online?
Any help/hint would be apreciated!!

Clearly the most beautiful plane ever made -- I'm building one!

I rather like it. Checked my avaiation "library" (which is almost exclusively WWI) but couldn't find anything. The references in the Wikipedia article are interesting, but unfortunately don't give much details.
