Jim B Posted January 29, 2015 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.
Southern Fried Posted January 29, 2015 Author 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.
