Fokker E.II Eduard 1/48
« on: August 31, 2015, 10:29:00 PM »
Hello!

It's my interpretation for the Fokker E.II.

I didn't improve the model.

Finally, There are approximations made by Eduard. In fact, I'm quite disappointed by this model. And I have encountered difficulties with the wings for example. My result is not perfect  :(.







I forgot to tighten two turnbuckles of the landing gear before the photo shoot!!















Cheers,

Arnaud

Very nice, Arnaud! Your weathering is spot on, especially on the metal cowling!

Beautiful Eindecker! You have made the airframe suitably grimy, Looks excellent! Lovely build all around!

Looks great!  There is something about Eindeckers that makes them special to me.

Very nicely done Arnaud, the overall finish on this model is superb, the rigging is very well executed.

Arnaud, how could you possibly be disappointed in this little beauty?!  She's stunning!
Cheers,

When I get round to doing my one I'll be happy if it's half as good as this one.

Hello!!

I misspoke.  I think the Eduard model is quite laborious. My wings are not perfectly parallel to the ground. I have not been able to do better.


Thank you very much for your positive comments!
