Fokker E.V (D.VIII) Dragon 1/48
« on: April 17, 2017, 06:08:30 PM »
Hello,

This Dragon kit is pretty basic in the end. I did not really like the build. I borrowed the decoration in an old reference Eduard, as well as the wheels.

I ignored the brushing for the wing, and I regret it today.

There is still the wiring to be realized, two or three little things and it will be finished.


The frame in the cockpit is redone with evergreen























Aviattic decals



















And now before the end



Cheers!

I think that this is one of the nicest DML/Dragon EV/DVIII builds I have seen! So although you "SEEM" to be only OK  on your build, I Love it!
