Thanks for comments. It helps me keep going on.

All the steeringcables are in place. When taking the pictures (I used a 100mm macrolens) I saw that I need to correct the blue. I will find a color that match the blue and will try to correct it. The tail shoe is also fitted and I can see the finish line now. I need to spray the propellor, glue the landinggear in place. I also want to dirty it up a little, maybe I cab hide some scratches  :wink:





Thanks for watching

Nice progress!
Your build invited me to get the decals for this marking in 1/48  :)

Cheers,

Very inspiring build. Your DVI looks outstanding to My Eyes. Had you not mentioned the blue I never would have noticed!

Those control horns and wires are incredibly detailed for this scale. You are clearly giving Frank a run for his money!

Some absolutely great work going on, Ferry! And don't worry about those little imperfections, a OOO brush and a close colour blue will sort it out! And as you say, an ideal place for some thrown up dust and mud! A very impressive build... Regards, Marc.

Re: Roden Fokker D.VI 1:32 DONE!

Thanks for the comments, they are really appreciated

I can tell you this is finally done. The last details are added and the prop is done. I made the prop of mahogany and not a layerd one. In my first post I said that I wanted a clean build. Later I changed my mind and wanted to make a little dirty because of the imperfections. I decided to leave it clean as I first wanted and take to imperfections for granted. It wil remind of the difficulties and will help me in the future.

This was my first Roden kit and will certainly not my last. I think the plastic and details are great but the decals are crap. For the first time I used Aviattic decals and they have certainly a learning curve. But when you know how to use them I think they are great.

Here is one pic as a teaser, the rest is gonna be placed in the finished models section.



I want to thank everyone for following and the tips and comments. It has been a real pleasure to show my work and I learned a lot.
I hope to see you at my next project, a Bristol M.1c
