sandbagger Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Hi all, 'Lukgraph' 1:32nd scale resin/3D printed. Phönix D.I, Serial No:J.12 (previously A.110), operated by the Austro-Hungarian ‘Kriegsmarine’ (Naval) from Abwehrflugstation Zaule, Trieste, 1918. As usual my website has a PDF build log (on Logs page 1) covering this model. Mike 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Lovely build Mike - do you know what's the story behind the paint scheme , was it peeling off or a deliberate effect ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi PW, The factory finish was varnished plywood for the fuselage. During 1917, this scheme was created by sponging on darker coloured paint over the plywood and before it was all varnished. The overall effect shows some of the natural plywood showing through the paint covering, Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
