Title: Fokker E.II 1/48 Eduard Weekend + Taurus Models
Post by: xmald on December 31, 2013, 12:59:45 AM

Hello! I`ve managed to finish her just before the New Year. A decent model indeed, but it needs some work to make it look like E.II -  more in Under Construction section... I got the beautiful Spandau from Łukasz - Taurus Models - anyone who wants to build an early German fighter should try it - its fabulous!
My model depicts Fokker nr. 68/15, flown by Lt. Brückmann - AA Gaede during late 1915.

Very nice indeed Filip! My first action on seeing these delightful photos of a great build was to go the the stash  and get out my own  unbuilt model. It really showed what you have achieved.

Best wishes
Nigel
