That looks awesome, Dan! The idea of construction reminiscent of the real deal is quite appealing.

Thanks, Zac.  No...no ulterior motive here!
That's exactly what a deep-cover agent from Big Paper Model would say  ;D

You got me!   ;D ;D ;D

You are the man, Hannibal!

Not much new, but the cowling went together very well and I've filled/sanded it in prep for painting.

More soon...Dan

Some final stuff for the evening...

I got the elevators done and just tacked them on along with the rudder to see how she looks.  Very triplane-like to me!

Next I'll be priming this, likely sanding edges and then start experimenting with some Fokker Factory Finish!  We'll see where that leads.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Well done Dan. That’s a good way to spend a foggy weekend.

Thanks Kevin and Zac!  Those photos may come in handy someday... ::)

I started the "priming, sanding, filling, sanding and priming again" process.  You can see the raw edges and bits of schmutz after the first primer run.  Also, steps were manifested on the lower fuselage sides.  After some putty and sanding, though...the last couple of shots show it's pretty much ready for color.  I'm treating this just like a plastic model but just being a bit more gentle with the sanding process.

The only thing that didn't go to plan was that my embossing from the back side needs to be heavier as you can barely see the stab/elevator/rudder lines.  I'll need to go over the wings before I skin them if I want them a little more pronounced.

Looks nice, though!  Can't wait to start spraying.  I think I'll mix some turquoise for the lower parts tonight and maybe give it a spray!  We'll see.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Really looking great Dan! No one would know it was paper if shown outside of this section of the Forum!

Exciting stuff Dan!  What kind of paint are you using, and how are you applying it?  Can’t wait to see the final paint scheme!

Best,

Bob
