Feiseler Fi-167 Documentation, Searching for docs & three view

[FliteMetal]

Found limited reference within this site to Fi-167's which eventually ended up in
Rumania after a short stay in the Netherlands when the German aircraft carrier
project was abandoned. Some denial of that fact as well :^) Even though there
was a grupo designation...

There is a 1/72 plastic kit available, which I would like to purchase, at the least
I would like a photo copy of the assembly booklet, the decal set, and cover in
color.

There are older softbound aviation books containing documentation and good
three views on the Fi-167. I am interested in purchasing these in support of a
1/5th scale FAI project I have begun.

Thanks for your assistance. wclayman@houston.rr.com is my email address.

There are a lot of details not shown on this small three view. As an example:
The leading edge slats are not shown at all.

Fi 167 was never used by Romania.
They were never sent to Romania, they were sent to Croatia.
The "Fi167 went to Romania" error was made first by William Green's in his "Warplanes of the Third Reich" book - he was the first to mention it and after that it was plagiarised over and over by lazy "researchers".
The kit you are thinking about is by Pavla. It is hard to find and it is not that good. It is basic (even though it comes with some photoetched parts and a vacform canopy) and needs a lot of work.

Following the link you will see one with croatian signs (although there it says that nine airplanes were sold to Romania... )
