Title: 1/72 Fokker Dr I "Strip Down" (Eduard)
Post by: ntg1305 on December 03, 2013, 07:34:58 AM: This is my latest finished project.
A more photo etched bending and handling challenge instead classic model build.
The seat cushion was made from tamiya epoxy putty with buttons engraved with the punch & die tool.
The gun barrels was replaced with hypodermic needles and the control cables inside the fuselage was made from Monofil polyamid thread.
Painted with model master enamels, Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics and the wood grain was made with artists oil paints.

Thanks for watching.

All comments are welcome.
