The build log was a lesson in intricate modelling and very interesting to follow. The completed model is a real tribute to a master modeller - excellent.

Wow Kent, that is a piece of art! Great looking, but at the same time not to modern/new, e.g. the look of the cowling. Fanatstic!
My guess it is 1/32? Could you please add the scale to the title? Thanks.

Cheers,
Frank
PS: We should make a picture: my 1/72 stripdown on the back or between the wings of yours ;D

Thank you all for your many kind words.  ;)

Though the little 'Fokker' isn't perfect, it was a great learning experience. Coming very close to being thrown in the trash a couple of times.
It did almost feel like building the real thing, recreating the single parts one by one, using not only plastic & resin but real sheet metal, micro plywood, thread, tubing etc.

Last weekend, the Fokker 'dreidekker' was awarded first prize in the Master Class at AROS 2019.

Hi Kent,
Having done something similar I can appreciate the time, effort and skill you must have put into this build.
An amazing model and a very worthy award winner - may there be many more,

Thanks for pointing me towards your photos of the completed model Kent. It is a real masterpiece and I am not at all surprised to see that you picked up an award for this incredible build.

Absolutely incredible work, Kent -

I really admire your skills on display here.   This would look great as a museum exhibit ...........

Thanks Dave, I am quite proud of 'her' - It was a test, seeing if it could be done and I learned a lot of new techniques for future builds  ;)
