Ernie, Brad and Gregory, thank you for your kind comments, guys.  Brad, I learned quite a bit from you since coming back to this hobby 4 years ago.  Thanks again.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Vladimir!  The Austro-Hungarian aircraft are among my favorites.  I even like the ugly experimentals, like the Priesel DD.
Cheers,
Bud

A pleasure to see how she's turned out, very envious of your skills;
and work like this must do wonders for the cause of greater interest in Austro-Hungarian aviation.
Yes, the naval ones are very pretty indeed :)

Thank you so much, guys!  Now I'm starting to blush.
Mark, I really do hope that interest in A-H types will increase.  I'd love to see more kits of these unique and interesting aircraft released.
Cheers,
Bud

I see that we really have similar interests!

This is the most beautiful and most successful Phönix. This is a great reference!
