MicTroy23 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Greetings, comrades! Trying to embrace the immensity, and building models of different times and directions, I could not avoid the theme of World War I. In the closet was only this set, though the car without a lot of swings, but quite interesting. I mixed a few cans of wooden paint and a couple of canvas paints (two of which were already done). I assembled some material and literature, had some practice and experimented, built the model rather well and without too much effort. Had to putty of course, and work up, how-ever without it ...) The plane belonged to (Flik 41J, pilot Frank Linke-Crawford, Sežana, autumn, 1917). Painting and varnish: GSI Mr.Color urethane acrylic, Tamiya varnishes, + pencils. Enjoy watching! 55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Leijdens Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 What a unique aircraft and very well build too! Looks like a flying crate. I also like the upside-down photo's, its just like he is in the air! Erik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth noting that Frank Linke-Crawford (born in Krakow to a Polish father and an English mother) was a leading Polish ace of World War I - flying these clumsy Austrian fighter plane imitations he shot down 27 Allied machines on the Italian front, including 5 RFC Sopwith Camels. Marvellous build ! Cheers Michael 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Very well done - the wood and fabric effects are first class. Having scratch built an H-B CC flying boat I know how tricky the star strut arrangement can be to get right - you have got it just right.

thorfinn Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Truly awesome job on one of the most singular aircraft of that conflict. A real eye-catching stunner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Absolutely stunning work! You've captured the wood and linen perfectly, the aluminium cowling, all brilliant yet wonderfully restrained. This is one beautiful Star-strutter!
