Really great improvement over the original kit.

Happy to see that there are still some of willing to do the "Original LARGE Scale WW I Aircraft" !

I have one in the works on the SOD far too long, hopefully will have a chance to return to it soon.

That needlework is most impressive and a big improvement on kit and PE parts.

Excellent work on the mods to the fuselage and the lacing . Much better than PE . I scribe my cut lines before cutting as well . Gives the saw a line to follow . Looking forward on the next up-date  :)

Hello everyone.
I hope you are keeping busy and staying healthy. Many thanks for all the kind comments and encouragement you have posted.

I have began the process of correcting the cockpit of my Fokker. The first job was to create a seat
and a new floor board. You can compare the size of the kit seat to the one I've made. It was closer to 1/32 scale.



I used some thick paper for the seat back and a scrap of plastic for the base. I have to thank the Paper Model folks for
giving me the idea to use paper. The paper allowed me to add the flair to the outer edges of the seat back. It was then
coated in then CA glue keep it's shape. It's been sprayed with primer and will receive a lozenge cover. The cushion is shaped
from Apoxie Sculpt.

The floor board has Copper State photo etch for the skid plates. I'll be using a Flugzeugwerke 1/28 scale compass.

Anyway, that's where I am today.

Terrific work on the paper seat! 100% better than the kit part! Also excellent work on the floorboard. All is really progressing well.

Hello everyone,
I have continued at my glacial pace on this kit. Here is the seat with the lozenge covering and the cushion in place.
I'll be adding the belts along the way. My concentration is now on the support frames and the lozenge screen behind the seat.





Slow but still moving, until next time,

Lovely work on  the lozenge seat! Your build May be "Glacial" but it is well done!
