Dean Whiston Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Another shelf of doom project done 😊 Phönix DIIa KuK Kriegsmarine 1918 MAC 1/72 The kit is an interesting build some good bits some not so good - decals which disintegrate on contact with water and the engine with minimal details in particular. Im happy with it in the end though 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Looks fantastic Dean. I love any scheme with the striped wingtips and the mottling is very nicely done too. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Nice job. The Austro Hungarian markings look great, very different. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 You've done a blinding job on this kit, Dean - I also built this exact one about a year or so ago and completely agree regarding your comments on building and the terrible kit decals.

stevehed Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Lovely build. Like the mottle and varnished ply. I have a soft spot for Austro Hungarian aircraft and built the Army version. Transfers behaved better than yours although I did have to touch up one of the personal fuselage markings with paint. I think I gave the sheet a coat of decal fix before using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Superb. Are all Phonix decals that bad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlow Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hmmm. I can't see the images and my usual trick (right click open in new tab) doesn't work. It's like the image is there (cursor turns into hand icon when over the image) but it is just a big blank... Sad as it sounds like an impressive build.. I'll come back and try again later. Edit: Aha, they've arrived... Looks very nice... Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a common theme with MAC Distribution kits - when I build the next one of theirs I will definitely be using decal fix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLeonov Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 A quality build - I especially like how you've replicated the unique Austro-Hungarian stippled paint pattern. Looks very delicate and fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
