Blue Max 1/48 scale Phonix D.I
« on: October 03, 2013, 07:15:52 AM »
Finished this one yesterday.  Mistakes too numerous to point out, so I'll leave it to you.  It was a fun, quick and easy build and that's what I was after.
















And finally, my fledgling Dual Monarchy fleet.

Thanks for dropping by, my friends.
Cheers,
Bud

You have done an excellent job Bud, the overall finish is superd and the scheme very striking. The Phonix D.I is not the prettiest aeroplane ever build but you have certainly made it look really special, congratulations and well done.

Thanks, Des!  I would actually love to see this bus kitted in 1/32 scale.  In the hands of such large scale masters as yourself, it would be a very striking model.
Cheers,
Bud

Bud, I would point out the numerous mistakes, except I can't seem to find them. (Rats!$

She's a beauty and looks great among her cohorts! Looking forward to whatever is next...

And yeah, this would be cool to see in 1/32...

Hi Bud. Very nice Phonix.

Great overall looking. The wood and rib effect are quite convencing along with that beautiful scheme.

Nice add to your collection.

Cheers

Can't seem 'em 'cause I used trick photography.  This is what she looks like without the filters, smoke and mirrors.

Thanks, Bob!  So, when are you going to scratch build one in 1/32 scale?  You know that the minute you do, Special Hobby will release one and you'll be a hero to all the 32nd scale guys.

Bud

Rick!  You can't see 'em either?  Well, then, I'm concerned about your eyesight and our chances in the Team GB!  Seriously, thanks, buddy.  Have you started your Fokker yet?

No errors visible to me either. It is an excellent model. I was impressed enough by your build photos to order one of the Blue Max Phonix kits from Freightdog Models.

It's a lovely build. the thing about mistakes is that you know they are they are there and stick out like sore thumbs but others just don't see em.  She looks a beautifully turned out build to me.

Yes I'd love to see this and others like it produced in 1/32nd too. The thing is with the main manufacturer in 1/32nd in our genre (name withheld for no real reason) is you just never know what's coming.  :o
