Another outstanding build and in God's Own Scale too. I truly hope that my current build will get near to your standard when it is completed. Very many congratulations on yet another very original idea - well worth the two year wait. Quality models are never built quickly.

Thank you, Sir. It is the size God intended models to be, eh?

To be fair, this did spend a lot of time off to one side. I only picked it up again when I learned Mr. Scott's 'Fokker Compendium' was out and available.

Woot? No Immelmann? No turns either?  ;D :P

I guess that Fokker was getting more Spins that he could handle by then!

I guess that it the first time that i see a A.II model... and in 1/72 scale!

Great work from you OM. Very nicely done.

Cheers

Thank you, Sir.

Probably will not ever be too many models of the type. Conversion seems the only route available to an accurate one....

Thank you, Sir.

Up close and personal, I can certainly see room for improvement on it. Sometimes I think the camera is kind to me....

Thank you, Sir.

I am glad you like it. I enjoy a model much more if I can present a good story with it.

Thank you very much, Sir.

I do like the way the layered colors worked out for the linen tone.

I do like the early and the odd. I was very tempted to try doing one of the impressed civilian machines, known to have been painted over-all a green which matched the facings of its owner's cavalry regiment, but could not get over uncertainty about the pattern of its crosses while it was in service.

Thank you very much, Sir!

Very glad you got a look at it.

Like scratch-building, conversions are really not so tricky as people seem to think....

Excellent work, OM.  The rigging, especially as it's in micro-scale  ;), is really impressive.

Cheers.
