Prze, you are the master of all scales!?!
After all the WNW models, you deliver a great job on the other side of the biplane scales too ;)

The Eduard Fokker seems to be a nice kit, but it is also much newer than the Roden one.

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you, you are really supporting me with your comments.

Good to see that you have returned to the True Scale. Those parts really are tiny - I am not sure that i could see them to work with any more!
Stephen.

The eyesight problems are exactly the reason why I try 72nd scale so rarely nowadays.

Neither master, nor all scales, Frank.
I would not try 144th because of my eyesight. And 48th, either, as this scale would cause me problems being too large for my tricks and simplifications from 72nd and too small to detail the model as I try to do in 32nd.

Today some colours were applied.

Amazing. What a level of detail!

A model thrives on its overall impression and not on that every little disagreement over the original is hyped up as a disaster

That’s wonderful, I’ve wanted to try some Part parts. Seeing the kit parts next to the PE make the kit look a lot more clumsy than I remembered. That Part steering stick seem actually *too* small. :o  Your use of mix of PE and plastic takes it to the next level.
The Eduard D.VIIs are wonderful kit by the way.

Fantastic stuff as always Prez! Good to see more examples in the scale that truly tests the brave and the foolish, and sorts the men from the boys, as they say...!  ;D

(PS - I can't hold a candle to some of the stuff you guys do in 1/32, let alone 1/72, so I mean the above with the greatest of respect!)

Cheers,

Good grief - I'm not sure if I want to just throw everything I'm working on away or if this really, really inspires me  :-\ (Inspires me of course)  ;D

Love the progress so far and following eagerly

Thank you once more.

I managed to insert all the cockpit bits into the truss. The instrument panel was especially demanding, I had to invent the ad-hoc jig to hold it still and carefully apply the liquid CA glue.
Enough for today, tomorrow I will try to add the control cables, fine Uschi line is waiting  ;)

The interior and structure looks amazing Przemo! It is hard to believe it is 1/72nd.

My thoughts exactly: with the right accessories and backdrop I'd be easily fooled into thinking you'd visited a friend's workshop to see their 1/1 replica! Immaculate work as always!

Wow, Przemo, this is some incredible stuff in 1/72! Back to your roots and detail that makes our jaws drop to the ground! Well done, and I'm enjoying this one so much! Regards, Marc.
