Title: Fokker D. II, Jasta 16b (Special Hobby, 1:32)
Post by: Borsos on March 16, 2018, 11:38:29 PM: I finished the new SH-kit. I used AVIATTIC linnen decals, a Gaspatch MG and a WNW rotary.
The kit was a joy to build and my model represents a Fokker D. II of Jasta 16b (former KEK Ensisheim) at the turn of 1916/1917. It's one of the planes that were painted by Lt. Fritz Grünzweig.

Post by: RAGIII on March 17, 2018, 05:31:25 AM: I enjoyed following your build as always. Your painting, rigging, and weathering are awesome. The figure and groundwork certainly set this beautiful aircraft model off! Finally the Hand painted Grasshopper insignia is a work of art on it's own!

I've never seen a wet base before.

Post by: lone modeller on March 18, 2018, 05:16:13 AM: That cartoon on the nose is just spectacular. The build was a joy to follow (as always), and the finished model displays your supreme talents to very good advantage. Many congratulations.

Stephen.

Post by: jeroen_R90S on March 18, 2018, 07:30:21 AM: Very nice work, Andreas! I love your choice of camouflage colours on the wings too (amongst all the other nice weathering, painted markings, etc etc obviously!) and will get me Revell 37 for that elusive reddish brown. I like the contrast with the green. :)

Post by: Bughunter on March 25, 2018, 06:20:32 AM: Due to lucky circumstances I was able to see this model in real live last weekend - most impressive, really!
This is a masterpiece in all aspects, also the base with all the real looking wet puddles is great (if you see that you want to put the model to a dry place immediately).
Thank you for the nice talk, Andreas!

Cheers,
Frank

Frank, your words honor me more than I deserve. It was a joy to meet you in person and to be able to look at your quarter scale masterpieces in reality.

Post by: xan on March 28, 2018, 02:57:36 AM: Very well done!
I saw a pic of this plane a few time ago...

You say it was on of the p lane he painted, have you pics of others plane painted by him?

Thank you!
Oh yes, Special Hobby released this kit in 1/48 scale long before their 1/32 version, have a look here:
https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/special-hobby/fokker-d-ii-black-white-tails.html
It has even the same boxart like the 1/32 kit, but the 1/48 box is blue, the 1/32 box is green...
There was another 1/48 kit made by Gavia, but I think that one is out of production:
http://www.internetmodeler.com/2000/february/first-looks/gavia_fokkerd2.htm
The Gavia boxart shows the 2nd, better known plane painted by Grünzweig. That one had camouflaged fuselage sides and running legs painted onto the wheel covers.

Post by: Bughunter on April 03, 2018, 02:18:02 AM: Andreas, the 1/48 D.II seems to be the same kit.
If you look at the sprues in your posted Gavia review and compare them against the PDF form Special Hobby, you will find no difference. So fo me it looks like, that Special Hobby has taken over the injection die from Gavia (as lately seen with the Pfalz E.I), after Gavia was going out of the business.

Cheers,
Frank
