Title: Mikr Mir Fokker E.V/D.VIII
Post by: LT1962 on June 22, 2021, 05:17:03 PM
After seeing a couple of builds of this kit I thought I would have a crack at one myself. Similar to others that have built this kit I found it challenging in places. In particular the length of the wing and undercarriage struts. I ended up making my own in the end from brass tube and copper wire. I also ended up using some parts from my Meng Fokker DR1 and from the WnW Fokker D.VII early. It can be a nice kit but I am glad I had access to other kits to strengthen the build. Hope you like it.

Nice one LT. For a fairly simple airframe it is quite an awkward little kit, but you have brought it off beautifully.

Very Well Done! Having built one of these kits I know the work it takes!

   Very nicely done LT. having built this one as well I know intimately what a "bear" it can be, including trying to replace the struts! You've done it justice and more!
Cheers,
Lance

That's a cracking build of the DVIII!

I built mine straight from the box so does not anywhere as near as good as yours.

Regards

Dave

Excellent build. I have not made this kit but I know from others that it is not easy. You have produced a mini-masterpiece there.

 It is good to see that one can build an outstanding model out of this kit.
 I so much like this one.

...and now I am going to order this kit  8)

Very nice, probably not an easy build so congrats are very well deserved.

Lovely little bee. Especially impressive in the view of difficult starting material. Congrats!

Not sure how I missed this one last week.  It looks great.  The black/yellow stripes are perfect.
