Sorry I have only just caught up with this one. I am speechless at the standard you achieve - some of the detail is so small I could not see it let alone make it, even with my magnifier. Totally and completely impressive.

Thank you very much for the encouraging comments!
I`ve almost finished... I hope the weathering isn`t overdone. I have to carve the prop and to paint the wheels and that`s it!



Best regards

Absolutely brilliant, Filip!  Your rigging and turnbuckles are very realistic and your weathering is perfect.  In my humble opinion, it's nearly impossible to over do the weathering on an Eindecker.

Holy Cow, Filip!  I've never been a huge fan of the Fokker Einers...but this is superb.  I don't think you are "over weathered".  Looks just right to me.  It's interesting and looks far bigger than it is.

Well done!

Superb work Filip. 

That Eduard kit is a real winner in my opinion.  I wouldn't mind having another go at one of these, and if I can come halfway close to what you have achieved here, I will be a happy man!
