Fokker D.VI// Eduard//1:48//AD 1995
« on: May 02, 2017, 08:44:15 PM »
Hello,

As promised started new old kit, rough plastic sprues and nice PE attached. Manufactured in 1995.
Now I am focused on the cockpit interior, which is a mixture of Dr.1 and D.VII/VIII, but main resemblance goes from the latter ones..
As I got inbox pics on the other hand forgot to do pics before fuselage closure :( Ones can barely see the interior lozenge and modified compass & magneto (oversized resin part from Eduard)









BTW the kit is rough. Adjusting the crate into the fuselage half requires some pre-work in finding fixed position
regards

thanks!
I have left fuselage for a while and get the wings parts on the desk. All of them were cut off sprues, sanded and brushed with primer. As decided to use Aviattic decals, used some pigments to express some depth and more 3D turnout. Last step was implementation of varnish layer.

Wow you are making quick work of this kit. Not an easy task just cleaning up the parts! The pre shading looks great and I am looking forward to seeing the lozenge applied!

That's a very rare bird. Going by Scale Mates it was a one off with no follow up.

Hi,
Fuselage is done as well. Had do add bottom’s panels as not provided by the kit
All was sanded, primed and varnished.







Waiting for decals I decided to make up my first, wood carved prop. Axial was shaped and sanded just before the paint implementation

Nice work on adding the panels on the lower side of your fuselage. The shading is looking great. This one is really turning out nicely!
