Fokker D.II// Special Hobby Grand Giveaway
« on: October 20, 2023, 08:33:37 PM »
Good Day,

I managed to finish this lady within last 2 weeks..taking into consideration that started the thread a year ago those last weeks were the essence of the built.
Finishing might be problematic for many of you but decided to go with bare alu & CDL.
In general the Fokker was fun to work with despite some issues with fuselage framing fit & very fragile decals
The biuld represents  Fokker D. II of Jasta 16b








regards
K

I have no problem with the scheme, it's a beautiful job! I knew of these aeroplanes, but never thought of building one until I saw your thread... was looking at this kit last night on a Ukrainian hobby site, and may end up ordering it. Love the prop & cowl, especially.

Nice looking Fokker you have completed.  The cowling artwork is most impressive!

Wow!! Striking scheme and perfect execution. Your various textures are finishes are excellent. If the decals were difficult to use you have overcome the problems. Decaling on the the bare metal cowling is impeccable.
