That is another super model Mike. The worn look of the cowling is so realistic. The figure is extremely well done and adds a real sense of reality to the model.

Great little Fokker and pictures Mike!
It has a nice used look, but with your personal style (I like it when you can recognise the builder of the model).

Cheers,
Frank

Absolutely beautiful work Mike! While I remain unconvinced by linen effect decals this build is gorgeous despite that personal bias, and is a piece of art. Bravo!

Although there’s no actual reason not to erase Mannheim from the face of earth, this is a nice build of a Mannheim-defender!  :)

I like the subtle weathering and paint chipping on the cowling.
