Fokker E. II Eduard Weekend 1/48
« on: November 09, 2013, 03:54:05 AM »
Hello mates!
Another Fokker on my workbench... I`ve scratchbuilt the pulsator and the air pressure gauge, what do you think about the Fokker swirls?



Best regards
Filip

Looks like another masterpiece in the works, Filip!  That pulsometer is beautifully crafted and the swirls look just right.
Cheers,
Bud

You have made a flying start with this one Filip, and what you have done so far is looking excellent, the swirls look really good.

Oh come on, Filip that's really 1/32 right?  Absolute perfection with
the instruments and the swirls are just about right.  Beautifully done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I picked up the Eduard Eindekker dual combo from Telford for £18.50 - the one with the resin models of Immelmann and Boelke etc. Another purchase I hadn't really intended to make, but I'll be enjoying your build Philip; those distinctive cowling swirls are very nice.

Best wishes

Those figures are really nice I envy you a little bit...  ;)

I`m a little bit disapointed with this model... After a great E.V this one needs some putty (fuselage halves) and some work to make it more similar to E.II than to E.III...
Best regards
Filip

Filip,
   And I was proud of my scratch built pulsometer in 1:32!??! That is fantastic work, and the swirls are exceptional as well. You have a very beautiful model coming here, I look forward to following your progress.
Cheers,
Lance
