1:32nd scale Fokker D.VI
« on: April 26, 2022, 04:36:58 AM »
Hi all,
Fokker D.VI of Kest 1a (Home Defence) Staffeln, operating from Mannheim in South-West Germany during the Summer of 1918.

The full build log can be found here:

https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=12912.0

As usual I've uploaded to my web site a fully detailed build log (in Adobe PDF format) that can be viewed or download. Just click the PDF icon in Gallery 4.

Thanks for everyone's support and comments - much appreciated,

Mike

That is another super model Mike. The worn look of the cowling is so realistic. The figure is extremely well done and adds a real sense of reality to the model.

Great little Fokker and pictures Mike!
It has a nice used look, but with your personal style (I like it when you can recognise the builder of the model).

Cheers,
Frank

Absolutely beautiful work Mike! While I remain unconvinced by linen effect decals this build is gorgeous despite that personal bias, and is a piece of art. Bravo!

Although there’s no actual reason not to erase Mannheim from the face of earth, this is a nice build of a Mannheim-defender!  :)

I like the subtle weathering and paint chipping on the cowling.
