The build log was a lesson in intricate modelling and very interesting to follow. The completed model is a real tribute to a master modeller - excellent.

Wow Kent, that is a piece of art! Great looking, but at the same time not to modern/new, e.g. the look of the cowling. Fanatstic!
My guess it is 1/32? Could you please add the scale to the title? Thanks.

Cheers,
Frank
PS: We should make a picture: my 1/72 stripdown on the back or between the wings of yours ;D

Thank you all for your many kind words.  ;)

Though the little 'Fokker' isn't perfect, it was a great learning experience. Coming very close to being thrown in the trash a couple of times.
It did almost feel like building the real thing, recreating the single parts one by one, using not only plastic & resin but real sheet metal, micro plywood, thread, tubing etc.

Last weekend, the Fokker 'dreidekker' was awarded first prize in the Master Class at AROS 2019.
