Here is the gallery of my newest build - one of the very first true fighters/scouts, flown in July 1915 by K Wintgens attached to FFA6b.
The WNW model was very easy to build and as accurate as possible. I have replaced the engine with the amazing Taurus Models resin, the propeller is carved from Kotebi veneers, turnbuckles are metal Gaspatch ones. And just today I realized I had bought the HGW textile seatbelts but forgot to use them. If anyone is interested in getting those - just let me know.
Enough of words, here are the photos.

Brilliant, Prez -
Nothing to criticise here and your usual high standard of workmanship is evident.

Another gorgeous build Prze, it looks perfect to me in every way. The build updates made me want an E.III and I still do.
You say you didn't use the HGW belts - what did you use?
-
BRAVO Prez,
I always like your clean work.

As usual Prze, your finished model is superbly built and painted. Congratulations on a very inspirational piece of work. I'm sure those HGW seat belts work work nicely in your next Fokker E-type ;)
Cheers,
Gary

So nicely done Prze. Very realistic paintwork.
-
Thank you, everyone :)
You say you didn't use the HGW belts - what did you use?
I used the PE belts form the kit PE fret. Very decent ones to be honest. ;)

The point is that I do not have any other Eindecker kit. And as I wrote in the build log - I am not keen on the type so this one will almost certainly be my only 32nd scale Eindecker model. So, my offer for the sale of the HGW seatbelts set stands ;)

Gorgeous build Przemek! What next? WWI or something Polish?

Magnificent work, Prze. I've been deeply invovled in researching the whole Eindecker tribe for the past few weeks, and will be starting this kit when (and if) I ever manage to finish the Amodel N.16. I'll be referring to this thread many times when I do, I’m sure.
All best,
Dutch

Lovely model, Prze, beautiful subtle staining on the canvas. Work of art.
I hadn't reaiised how different the E.I would look with it's stubby wings compared to later E models, but you really do need this 'un in any proper collection of Fokkers!
Nice

Aha! You could've fooled me! I hope the HGW set finds a good home.

Beautiful, as usual !!!

Perfect, remember that the left aileron comes from another plane and has a moved cross.

@PrzemoL
Superb and well-built Fokker E.I
It is very rare to see the E.I with raised wings.
And no drooping wings, also very rarely seen ;)
This little Eindekker-bird, also the 5/15 with higher mounted wings, is also waiting to be completed (lying like this for 9 years to my shame) on my shelf. Current state of construction 50%

You are right, it is visible in the photo I included in the build log.

I am looking forward to seeing you apply your usual magic to that build, Bertl.

Incredible work that brings a very good kit to new heights!!

Thank you, Steve :)

looks great! I like the subtle weathering and shading. And the metal cowling is really nice too.
