Fokker D.V 1/48 Special Hobby

This is an OOB build.  Construction was straightforward with good parts fit and nice detail.
The Fokker D.V was one of the first purposely designed trainer aircraft. First examples were produced in 1916 and continued through the war. Over 300 examples were made.

Very nice, Tim! Not often seen modelled and you've certainly done it justice.

Very nice indeed Tim. A plane that I really like and you've done a great job on what can be quite a challenging kit. Excellent finish all round.

Good to see a trainer - a different subject. The streak finish is excellent, as is all of the "muck" underneath.

That's really great work Tim and I especially like the Fokker streaking as well as how you did the ribs underneath.

NB; I noticed it just before I posted. Spell correct changed Fokker to Fillet!
I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!

Very finely built! Convincing streaking effort!
