Fokker E.V - 1/48 Weekend Edition
« on: July 14, 2014, 01:26:57 PM »
Hi all,

Here is my latest completion - the Eduard 1/48 Fokker E.V, in its Weekend Edition boxing.  I built this one straight out of the box with the addition of seat harnesses from Tamiya tape. For the fabric covered areas, I ended up using the Aviattic lozenge decals, which are transluscent and therefore you can get some neat effects with pre-shading.  I painted the wing in the colours of the 'current' theory for these aircraft - i.e. a streaked 4 colour wing.

The aircraft is painted in the markings of Fokker E.V 149/18, attributed to Ltn Friedrich Liebig of Jasta 1, Helesmes airfield, October 1918.   

Work in progress pics can be seen here:

All comments and criticisms welcome - that's how I learn!

Cheers,

i followed the build log and shes a nice ev brad. i personally am really loving the aviattic stuff. i found as you did they are extremely translucent so a little goes a long way with pre-shading. even doing a cream basecoat as opposed to white makes a big difference to the final tone of the lozenge. the subtle fabric effect cant be beat though. great build.

Astonishing what a master modeler can perform in less than a week!  I echo Scott's comments.  She's gorgeous.

Great job Brad!  Beautiful model and presentation.  Could easily be 1/32 to my eye, with the immaculate finish and detail.  The rigging, though minimal for this machine, appears very crisp and to scale.  The overall impression of the model is simply oustanding. ;D. Very well done, and in such short order!

Cheers and huzzas,

Bob

As always Brad, crisp, great detail, and just a pleasure to view. The pre-shading under the lozenge is yet another trick learned from a master...........Thanks for sharing all of this!

I totally agree with Lance, Brad!  The E.V is just beautiful.  I particularly like the
streaking on the wing. Just great!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello Brad:

Great build.  I like how you did the stitching on the underside.  The Aviattic decals sure look the part and your preshading and fabric are certainly a nice touch and add to the overall effect.  Outstanding workmanship.

Best
