cobraman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Looks good. How did you do that finish ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Great looking plane. You don't see to much Austro-Hungarian WWI stuff; mostly German. The finish is interesting. I can't decide if it looks like wood or leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Fried Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Looks good. How did you do that finish ? Thanks! The Phonix was made of varnished plywood fuselage, with doped linen wings. For camo, they "sponged" dark brown paint all over. I used a base coat of Testors Modern Desert Tan (33722) , then a soft brush with watered down Americana Dk brown craft paint for the "daubing". Finish is Valspar Flat, from a rattle can. Great looking plane. You don't see to much Austro-Hungarian WWI stuff; mostly German. The finish is interesting. I can't decide if it looks like wood or leather. Thanks!
