- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thank you, Gentlemen. Not finished yet but with the top wing and floats in position you can see how this is going to look. The float support struts and the wing struts are 20x40thou strip. These will be painted grey. I need a leading edge radiator which will be made from three strips of 30x80 strip. The N struts I intended to use were too long and couldn't be shortened easily. It was simpler to recreate with strip.

Construction is complete. The strut arrangement allowed wireless support which is always nice with WW1 types. The leading edge radiator sits on strip and the pipes are 20thou rod. I've given the fins a coat of Revell wood to represent ply and the mgs are scratch shaped card for the breeches and 20thou rod for the long blast tubes favoured by the Austro-Hungarians. I had intended making up a serial number based on navy practice but the intended transfers appear to have gone on a trip as they are nowhere to be seen. Another thing was what to call it. It's a Fokker design, built by Thone and Fiala, modified by Phoenix. Think I'll go with Phoenix-Fokker (Th) WD.VII. Serving in the Adriatic, in the Kumbor(Kotor) region, mid 1919.
