1/72 Eduard Fokker Eindecker E.III (Generic)
« on: August 24, 2016, 02:50:52 AM »
Hello all,

I recently completed this build of yet another Eindecker, my fourth for game play. Special thanks go out to Ian Brand for providing the kit since I was looking for an Eduard kit to go with the other three I had built.

This particular E.III was painted with a color I mixed to create the green grey seen on some Albatros D types. I liked the resulting color enough to use it on this build. The decals are from the kit, paints are mostly Testor brand enamels, and the rigging is 2 lb test mono filament nylon line.





Thanks for looking,

John

Thank you Ian, Rick, Steve, Bud and Stephen. You're all too kind since I did not do any detailing work beyond the painting and rigging.

Thanks again for your comments.

That's as may be John, but you've still produced a mighty fine gaming model.

Best wishes
