Title: Fokker Eindecker E.III Stripdown, Eduard 1/72
Post by: Bughunter on June 02, 2017, 04:01:51 AM
Keep posting please!
Ok ok ;D here is the next one: Fokker E.III as stripdown in 1/72
That is the second finished kit of the Eduard seires. The kit contains 3 PE sheets and a tiny plastic frame with low number of parts. For more robustness I replaced the etched main spars by brass profiles and soldered a new gear with brass wires instead of flat PE. As usual on by bench the paints are Gunze, Alclad and oils for the wood finishing.
After the rigging (also inside the wing with some additional compression struts) I wanted to add those anti-flutter bands you can see on the Fokker with removed fabric in London. I experimented a lot with different materials. At the end this was done by help of a third of flat dental floss 8) I was a hard work, to get it in without twist, but it looks great now.

Regarding this Eduard-Stripdown 1/72 show here: this is done for now!
Fokker Dr.I -> shown
Fokker E.III -> here
Piper L-4 -> doe, but to young for this forum
Sopwith Camel - some subassemblies done (damn hard to build), not yet ready
Fokker D.VIII - not yet started
Fieseler Storch - not yet started, and to young

Thanks for viewing - don't forget to click on the pics 8)

May be it is interesting, how those kits (from 1996!) look like to give a impression:

That's nothing but world class work! Truely incredible what you are doing. It's good to have you here at the forum, your work is a real enrichment.
Could you explain someday, what kind of hardware you use for soldering? Are you using certain makro soldering irons?
Hats off!
Borsos

Nothing special - its the cheapest 20W soldering iron from do-it-yourself store, because I really need a tip made from copper:

As flux I use colophony (you can buy a small block in music stores, because it is used for violins). It is solvable in alcohol for creating a "soldering varnish":

Thanks for the very interesting notes on how you tackle these awesome models. You have clearly got the techniques sorted out for this type of modelling - unfortunately I am like Guy - I would not try one of these because I know what a mess I would make of it.
