Almost finished bar the step ups which I'd forgotten about and I need to change the angle on the deflector plate. An easy build with no gotchas at all (decals lifting aside), due to the limited schemes not sure I'd do one again though, maybe a camoflagued E.Iv but that's about it.

Oh rigging instructions in the manual were worse than useless IMO. I had to go to the Eduard site to figure it out, the Compendiums didn't help much either.

   Gary,
She's absolutely beautiful my old friend. Not to mention very impressive and masterful works. She's a great inspiration for anyone building WNW's Eindeckers. Outstanding metalworks too,some of the best I've seen.
Highest Regards,

Beautiful work, GCN. Love your finish and weathering on the Fokker Grey fuselage. Beeing sticked right into the same build, I am very interested in the rigging plans. Can you post me the link to Eduards specific site?

Lovely work Gary, this is an inspiration to anyone wanting to build this kit. Your weathering is excellent and not overdone, and the metal work is the best I have seen, well done.

Des.

Most of the Wingnut rigging diagrams for any of their kits leaves a lot to be desired, IMO this is one area of their brilliant instruction books that needs improving.

Thanks for the comments everyone it is much appreciated.

Dirk a link for you. Once you get there you just need to download the instruction sheet

http://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/FOKKER-E-II-E-III-EINDECKER-1-48.html?cur=1&listtype=search&searchparam=Eindecker

There were also some photos posted on here that are pretty useful but I can never remember where it was so I just did a search on the forums with the word useless and up it pops.  ;D

Thanks Gary,

now that was a really fast response! Trying to understand WNW's rigging diagram was some sort of exegesis that took me about 1-2 hours. Mainly because of those hidden elements of the rigging. I am looking forward to compare the two diagrams to get a better sight upon the whole theatre of operation ;).
