WnW Fokker E.1 (Early)

[mgunns]

Hello Pete:

The engine looks great, if you are looking for a more weathered appearance, maybe a thin wash of brown or burnt umber around the crank case would give it the oily look you are after.  Brown water colors might work too and easier to clean off it you don't like it.
This is coming along nicely Pete and I am looking forward to seeing your progress through the build.

Best

Mark

this is a rotary engine and they put out a thin spray of caster oil, the engine would have been covered with an overall coat of thin oil, what do you think?

Next update, preparing the parts for the base of the cockpit, next step is a coat of grey primer.

Just a quick heads up, some of us have thought that some parts on the Albie DV were delicate, you aint seen nothin' yet, WnW have excelled themselves with thin parts on the E.I.



Cheers

Pete.
