Title: Fokker E.V - 1/48 Weekend Edition
Post by: Brad Cancian on July 14, 2014, 01:26:57 PM: Hi all,

Here is my latest completion - the Eduard 1/48 Fokker E.V, in its Weekend Edition boxing. I built this one straight out of the box with the addition of seat harnesses from Tamiya tape. For the fabric covered areas, I ended up using the Aviattic lozenge decals, which are transluscent and therefore you can get some neat effects with pre-shading. I painted the wing in the colours of the 'current' theory for these aircraft - i.e. a streaked 4 colour wing.

The aircraft is painted in the markings of Fokker E.V 149/18, attributed to Ltn Friedrich Liebig of Jasta 1, Helesmes airfield, October 1918.

Work in progress pics can be seen here:

Post by: rhallinger on July 14, 2014, 03:38:28 PM: Great job Brad! Beautiful model and presentation. Could easily be 1/32 to my eye, with the immaculate finish and detail. The rigging, though minimal for this machine, appears very crisp and to scale. The overall impression of the model is simply oustanding. ;D. Very well done, and in such short order!

Cheers and huzzas,

Bob

I totally agree with Lance, Brad! The E.V is just beautiful. I particularly like the
streaking on the wing. Just great!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Great build. I like how you did the stitching on the underside. The Aviattic decals sure look the part and your preshading and fabric are certainly a nice touch and add to the overall effect. Outstanding workmanship.

Best

Post by: PrzemoL on July 31, 2014, 06:40:28 PM: Spectacular, Brad. As usual, I might add :)
Did you preshade under the Aviattic decals? You have achieved a very fine effect I would like to imitate on my planned Roland D.VI.
