Title: Wingnut Wings Fokker E.III
Post by: JCoatney on March 27, 2014, 11:20:03 PM

Here are a few pics of my Wingnut Wings Fokker E.III. Mostly out of the box except for rigging and Gaspatch buckles. While not technically accurate, I went for a CDL look so I could play with shading among the ribs.

Happy Modeling- Jim Coatney

Another really tremendous model. It almost could be taken for real - outstanding.

A real man-of-war! Castor oil stains are very convincing. A very fine model all around. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Jim:

Nice to see this one on the forum as well.  As in your Gotha, outstanding workmanship.  As has been mentioned, the oil stains on the cowling, the weathering on the wings, all make for an outstanding build.

Best

Mark
