Fieseler Fi-167 – Detailed 3-View

I have received a detailed 3-view from Deutsches Museum in Berlin. Interestingly enough, it was drawn by Bjorn Karlstrom – one of the most prolific aircraft artists ever. I have a lot of Swedish magazines dating back to the 1940’s and they are full of drawings by Karlstrom. Most of them, I suspect, he drew from photos, without having ever seen the actual aircraft.

The Fieseler Fi-167 drawings are up to the typical Karlstrom standard, with the exception of a couple of spots. In particular, he got the cowl shape wrong on the side-view. It just doesn’t look “shark-like”, but more like the cowl from a Piper Pawnee!

I will have to overlay the 3-view with the photos and correct this problem before I can continue.

I will obviously have to look through the 3-view in detail to see if anything else needs fixing. At first glance, it looks great, though.
