Title: Dogfight Double 1/72 build. Eduard Fokker E.I and Eduard DH.2
Post by: Tim Mixon on September 23, 2023, 10:50:55 AM: I’ve managed to finish these two builds. Both Eduard kits were just what I needed to get my Mojo back. The D.H.2 is probably as close as a WNW kit I’ll ever experience. It’s almost straight OOB. The Eindecker needs a little more attention on the underside but is still an enjoyable build as well.

Here’s the final pics:

Here’s a pick of the 1/48 and 1/72 kits together

Post by: lone modeller on September 24, 2023, 03:43:19 AM: I agree with Dutch - two superb builds. As I cannot resist a pusher I have to write that that is just stunning.

Thanks too for the build log - a fascinating insight into the kits and your methods.

Stephen.

The unusual finish on the Fokker is cool, Papa Reuschke would have liked it! ;)

Post by: Rip Van Winkle on September 28, 2023, 01:30:47 AM: Wonderful job! Rigging for the DH2 must have been a challenge. Quality job on quality kits.

Post by: enathan on September 28, 2023, 08:34:26 PM: You've made a great job with both kits Tim, it was a pleasure to watch your build and the results are lovely.
The finish on the Fokker E.I is a real winner!

Post by: ScottJ on October 11, 2023, 09:59:00 AM: Tim, both kits turned out excellent! The weathering really looks good (something I want to start experimenting with in the future) and really stands out on the DH.2. I'm restating what others have already said here but the paint scheme on the E.I really stands out. Makes for a very interesting looking aircraft.
Enjoyed following your build log also.
Scott...

Post by: ModelCellar on October 29, 2023, 01:26:50 AM: HOLY SMOKES! Hard to believe it is 1/72. The color scheme on the Eindecker is pretty cool.

Post by: DaddyO on October 29, 2023, 02:22:10 AM: Lovely work on both Tim (I had to double check the scale when I saw Wingnut mentioned in the text) Glad to see a couple of fabulous builds in the gentleman's scale

Post by: Brad Cancian on October 29, 2023, 09:12:19 AM: Beautiful work on both kits Tim, and I love the 'dogfight doubles' theme - you've encouraged me to pop back to 1/72 for my next build (*fondles the Eduard E.III and DH2 kits tucked away in the stash*) :)

Cheers,

BC
