Max Immelmann's Fokker E.I 13/15 scratch 1/144

knowing me I would loose such small kit somewhere in my house and that would freak me out for sure. That is the reason why I stick to 48
But frankly adore those who work with such a small stuff and do such a magic with it

Many thanks for your nice comments, Krzysiek and Rick, they are highly appreciated!

I am not much in mood for modelling recently, but today I at least assembled the engine and gave it a coat of aluminium. I am not very happy about it, so will see what it will look like after wash, might rework it.




Cheers

Looking from where I am sitting, that is a very good representation. I would be happy with it!

That is one good looking tiny engine

looks great! amazing work at such a small scale

I just can say: It looks very nice and flawless. But it's you who must be happy with it. So if you think to have to rework it - do it (although I wouldn't know where to start).

Many thanks for your nice comments and your support, Stephen, Juan, Dave, Andreas and Rick!

After a rather long break I found some time for the workbench yesterday and a bit of painting was done on the engine. It might look ok under the cowling, nevertheless I will make another one and will see which one will turn out better.

Goodness Ondra, you need the Hubble telescope to see if there are any flaws with your engine.  Looking great from where I sit.

Just amazing work Ondra! Looks beautiful to me! That being said if you want another go at it more power to you!

I really admire your persistence in trying to get things to look right - even if I need extra lenses to see the difference!! Looks a cracking job to me.

Many thanks for your generous and supportive comments, Juan, Rick, Stephen and Jeroen!

This weekend I made my traditional ritual of taking a critical look at the model and decided to rework the fuselage - I am not satisfied with the oil staining (looks different on the photos of the original machine) and with the shade I took. As the first step, I reworked the stitching I was not very happy about either, this one looks more satisfactory.



I also discovered a few flaws on the upper sides of the wings, so here we go again - cutting masks, masking the wings and several layers of surfacer. Demasking will take place next weekend.





Cheers
