Friedrichshafen FF-33E seaplan, 1920
Hello,
New model has joined my seaplans collection.

It is a Friedrichshafen FF-33E - German reconnaisance biplane with Benz Bz.III engine.
Model presents a seaplane operated by Polish Naval Aviation in the period 1920-23 - Naval Base in Puck (Puck Bay - Baltic Sea).
Scratch 1:33 scale, based on Answer kit.
Regards,
Dick

Fantastic model.Strings connected with wings-puts grat many biplanes to shame in this regard.

I'm seeing generator and antena roll outside of observers cockpit-was this plane equiped with 2 way radio? I tough those came to use in Puck with purchase of French flying boats.

One lears something new every (other) day.

WOW. Amazing detailing. The rigging is great, and even a tie line on the pontoon.


Congratulations on a beautiful model.

You're right. FF-33E had a radio station on board.
