Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on May 08, 2015, 01:45:32 AM: Can't believe I missed this one...I really like how what could be a rather "boring" green finish looks extremely interesting. It's turning into one of those that looks ready to take-off in!

Cheers,

makes me want to put both hands on the prop, pull-throw downwards and start her up! Beautiful work Rahmi!

Regarding the prop: did you use pencils to colour this? (My apologies if this was covered earlier and I missed it)
Title: Re: Fokker E.III 1/32 Max Immelmann
Post by: ade on May 08, 2015, 03:24:48 PM: Very very good indeed !

I want to build another one now...
Title: Re: Fokker E.III 1/32 Max Immelmann
Post by: Pgtaylorart on May 08, 2015, 04:11:48 PM: Your Eindecker is looking better with each update! Is that the engine that comes with the kit, or a Taurus? Either way, it looks great!

George

Post by: Des on May 08, 2015, 04:14:47 PM: The engine and the propeller are outstanding as is the rest of the aeroplane, you have done a brilliant job so far.

Des.
Title: Re: Fokker E.III 1/32 Max Immelmann
Post by: Odysseus on May 08, 2015, 04:22:16 PM: Thank you all!
George, i used Taurus resin engine.
Zac, yes i used color pencils for the prop. I thank to Bertl for sharing this amazing and simple technique every prop painting :)
Title: Re: Fokker E.III 1/32 Max Immelmann
Post by: coyotemagic on May 09, 2015, 01:30:48 AM: Rahmi, your paintwork is exquisite and the prop and engine are superb. You've made an Eindecker fan of me.
Cheers,
Bud
Title: Re: Fokker E.III 1/32 Max Immelmann
Post by: Pgtaylorart on May 09, 2015, 02:50:18 AM: Rahmi, I have an Eindecker in my stash that I had always planned on painting beige, or straw yellow, but your green looks so good I'm reconsidering.
