Title: Fokker E.V, Eduard 1:48, Stefan Bastyr
Post by: KrzysiekK on November 13, 2013, 06:55:00 AM

The tribute to  Stefan Bastyr, gunner, observer, fighter pilot,  the commander of Lewandówka Aerodrome and Air Group Lviv. One of  two „crazy Stefans”  (Stefan Stec & Stefan Bastyr) the founders of Polish aviation. KIA on 6 Aug 1920 allegedly due to some kind of fainting during the flight. He was known to have some heart problems.

Thanks for posting photos of this very stunning model K, you have done a superb job with the overall finish, the colour scheme on this plane is very eye catching, I just love those Polish markings, congratulations and well done.

Des.

She's truly stunning, Krzysiek!  You've nailed the wing colors and streaking.  Brilliant!
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful, colourful, very very nice model. A worthy tribute to the great airman. Congratulations, Krzysiek!
BTW, would you ever say seeing the greyish black-and-white photos of this aircraft in the muddy Lewandówka airfield, that the original was soooo colourful???

Hello  Krzysiek. Congratulations on a lovely piece of work. I think you have captured the wing surface colouring to excellent effect.

Best wishes
Nigel

Thank you all ;D
Indeed EV is little bit too colorful for me as well. Hard to imagine those machines in action or on last  century airfields. Nevertheless nice  build
with bit of hurry  :D

Krzysiek, the central powers certainly had a flair with colours, etc.  I quite enjoy
them showing much more individuality than most of the allies aeroplanes.
You can only take so much PC10/12. ;) ;D

Cheers,
Ernie :)
