Revell Fokker E-III in 1/72 scale
« on: April 22, 2015, 07:53:35 AM »
My first post here is it as much of figuring out how to post a photo more than anything else.

Here (hopefully) is my Revell Fokker E-III, 1/72 scale right out of the box.  My very first rigging attempt.




(it looks like the photo worked!)

I like your EIII! A very credible job on an ancient kit! Your rigging looks excellent, very tight and straight!

Considering the age of the kit and it is your first attempt to rig, I think that you should feel very satisfied. That is an impressive model - i hope that you will go on to show us more.

Hello and welcome, Greg -

This is excellent work for your first rigging effort.  As others have already said, an all round good job on a very old kit.

Regards

Dave

As Squiffy said, nice to see another brother taking up residence in the asylum. ;)  I think you did great, especially considering the age of the kit, etc.

Well done sir!
