Aurora Fokker EV, D.VIII, 1/48.....
« on: October 07, 2024, 12:35:17 AM »
Built for the Dave Wilson Group Build.

Build log here:  https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=14627.0

Added belts, propeller and resin guns. Reshaped wing tips. Aftermarket Lozenge and marking decals.

Ubiquitous bottom shot.



A fun, simple little kit from the olden days.

I agree, it certainly is great work. These old kits need so much work to look this good.

Thanks you all for the warm regards.
I had no idea all this fussing about with these old kits would do me well with these early Eduards.
