Excellent work. You're setting a very high benchmark.

I like how the rigging looks on the gear with those turnbuckles also! Nicely done and look in scale.

Thanks, guys.


The upper wing went on tonight. It looks fine up front, but the rear cabanes did some sliding around after I applied glue - so there were some messy smears back there. I let the glue dry and buffed out as best as I could, then repainted. Its not 100% but you have to look pretty close to notice.

I had a really hard time with the aileron control wires just because it was hard to access the attachment points. Next time I will drill holes all the way through the wing.

I'm really pleased that my turnbuckles line up with the lines, correctly. They extra thread still needs to be clipped. That will be for another night. Doing this wore me out.




in the home stretch now.

Excellent results. The upper wing really looks awesome in place. I am liking this one more with each update!

Thanks, Rick.

It's home stretch for the fokker. I have finished pretty much everything aft of the engine.

A bit more playing around with oils for some effects, and I need to fix the cross decal, which got damaged from excessive handing of the kit (I was tending to pick it up at that point).





I'll admit, I'm a little wary about painting the laminated prop. But that is next, so stay tuned.

Great result. Your streaking is excellent.       
 Actually all of the build is excellent.

That's a beauty, I cannot believe it is 1/48, the level of detail would make you think it is 1/32.   :D

Not bad at all, for your second! That streaking is excellent.
