About product

Friedrichshafen FF-33E, In Polish Service 1:48 (Techmod)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German First World War Friedrichshafen FF.33E reconnaissance seaplane in the guise it wore in Polish naval aviation. It is a short-run kit from the Polish maker Techmod, and the package contains plastic sprues, a clear part, a photo-etched fret, film for the instrument panel and a decal sheet. A short-run mold calls for somewhat more careful cleaning up of the parts, so we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Friedrichshafen FF.33E was a biplane float seaplane of the First World War period, used for reconnaissance and patrolling over the sea. After the war several machines were also operated by Polish naval aviation, whose markings this edition captures. The crew consisted of a pilot and an observer.

Building and painting tips

First dry-fit the parts of the short-run mold and clean off the flash. Bond the plastic with liquid cement and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate. On a biplane, plan the order in which you glue the wings and the struts in advance, and do not forget the rigging. Spray the floats and the lower surfaces with an airbrush, and finish the painting before glazing the cockpit.

Who the model is for

  • anyone interested in First World War aviation and seaplanes
  • more experienced modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • enthusiasts of the history of Polish naval aviation
  • collectors of biplanes in 1:48 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
