Title: WNW Fokker E1 : My first WW1 model for publication
Post by: Inverted on December 15, 2014, 07:25:17 PM

Hi all,

its been a while, sorry for that! Well here she is, my first WW1 build. Lovely kit. I must make a start on the other WNW in the stash! Some of you may have seen her in the latest issue of SAM?

Regards
Chris

I like that Little Fokker of yours, especially the squiggles on the metal parts? Did you do them as WNW proposes?

It was a good pick for the first WW1 kit! With a fine final result, we must admit! Congratulations. And now go for something with more wings and more cables.  ;)

Great Eindecker, Chris! The weathering on the fuselage is really
well done. Could you give a quick explanation of how you did it?
Beautiful job on your hopefully first of many of that era. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi All,

Thanks for the comments. The finish on the cowlings were as per WNW's recommendations, but with some alteration on the colours. Alclad as a base then with handprinted squiggles using Mr Color. The weathering was using trusty oil paints. Undiluted spots added to the areas to be stained, then worked into the paint with a brush slightly dampened with white spirits. Work until you get the
 desired effects. In my opinion, oils are a hugely underrated weathering medium, yet they are so versatile. So much cheaper than the aftermarket weathering based products as well!

That's lovely Chris,

I agree re the oil paints - and the best bit is, if you don't like the effect, you can wipe it off & start again! :)

which ATC sector are you with? We may have already talked!

Guy

    I've somehow missed this until now Chris. Beautiful work, a Model to be proud of and pretty fine results for your first WWI subject! I really like the results you achieved with the oils on the fuselage. Hopefully you've another WWI subject in mind; try you favorite with the WNW Brisfit Kit before it gets sold out, it's a wonderful kit.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks chaps,

Well the WNW stash us rather large, a few to get on with!

Guy, I can be found mostly up to FL85 over the North Sea, either in and around Shetland, or down off of the East Anglian Coast....
