Title: A couple of my completed builds. Revell 1/72 SE5a and Fokker Eindecker.
Post by: justin1980 on April 11, 2014, 09:02:23 PM

Hi all,

Well thought I would show some of what I have built so far.  (Three so far, and two ongoing).

The SE5a,

Not fully rigged as I was venturing into rigging a different way.

Eindecker, fully rigged as the new way worked out great!

I did notice that somehow I got the wheel covers wrong on both, but they are done and in the cabinet, lesson learnt! ;)

I hope you enjoy,

Regards

Justin

Very nicely done Justin, I especially like the Eindecker. Both models are well finished and in 1:72 scale are a credit to your skills.

Good work, Justin -

I think my favorite is the Eindecker as well - very well weathered.

Thanks guys! 

I was worried about the Eindecker, thought I might have overdone the weathering!

Nearly impossible to do, Justin.  Have you seen the period photos?  Those things were an oily mess.  Again, great job.
Cheers,
Bud

I agree with the others - two little gems there especially the Eindekker which is very convincing.

Congratulations on a pair of well-made models.  I have to say the Eindecker is my
favourite.  I don't think the weathering is overdone.  I look forward to see more
of your work.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
