Someone ask for more - and I have still something to shown in my daily series ;)
The next model is the only one in my collection made be Special Hobby: Phönix D.I K.u.K. Kriegsmarine again in 1:48
The plastic parts are somehow of short run quality, but really not bad! The kit comes even with PE and resin parts. I added some further details like Gaspatch turnbuckles and airspeed indicator, and wooden parts like airscrew and struts.
And this was my first model with a rubber rigging, the correct painting of the light effects on the wing ribs and - trumpet air horn - a wooden plated fuselage! I was a experiment and with a fail it would only be visible from below ::)
Have fun again,
Frank

The curved front was the hardest part:

I agree with the others - a wonderful model. I really like the wood on the underside - must give that a try myself in future.

A little wonder and with an authentic look! Great model.

A beautifully finished model Frank, the painting, decals and rigging are all superb, and the wood propeller and struts look excellent.

Frabk, this is a fantastic looking plane and as perfectly finished as usual for you. The planking of the underside with real wood is a great idea. There's only one small issue: Don't be angry at me, but I think the landing gear should be turned around - I am by no means a specialist for the Phoenix, but judging from the photo the front struts are shorter than the struts at the back of the landing gear.

Hello, nice to get more feedback for this model, since this is a old entry done in May here :D
The model was finished in March 2016, at that time using wood in my models was a very fresh idea.
the front struts are shorter than the struts at the back of the landing gear.
Andreas, thanks for detailed analysis of my model, but as far as I know the gear is right. All the Windsock drawings, also on back side, and many pictures show a longer strut in the front. May be the perspective of that photo is deceptive.
Here is a drawing I found:

Oops - Obviously not too well analized... but I seem to have a wheel and undercarriage fetish. And something seemed not to fit the foto.
No doubt, I don't have the WDF, but that drawing proves you right. I found that certain photo you posted, too and it's the only one that can lead one into error:

Strange pic...
-
May be that specific machine has a different mounting, done on the field by the mechanics?
There are more pics of that machine in the WDF, but some from a angel, which do not prove it and others after a landing accident, with broken gear.
So I think, on this Phönix one could rotate the gear, but I do not want to do it now on the finished model to avoid problems.
Thanks anyway to point this out.
Have a nice weekend,
Frank
