Spectacular, as usual. Also, the sene with the figures brings a lot of life to the model. Great to see your stellar work, yet again.

Lovely job Mike.

Looks like you need to get some sheep on the field there though.

Cheers,

That said, once superseded by better aircraft, they were used primarily as trainers.
Maybe those airfields were not so well looked after.
That's my excuse anyway,

Your Fokker really turned out first class, Mike. The painting, weathering and rigging are all exceptionally well done. Great work on such a unique subject.
