FOKKER SCOURGE

Recommended Posts

The past few days I have been working on the Taurus resin engine . It has a lot of detail ,but lots of tiny parts that take a lot of time to put together. Since it`s my first one it took awhile till I found tricks to put it together .

I painted the engine parts in steel

Most of the engine is put together

I gave it a wash to give it a used look .

I added micro copper wire to the spark plugs. It take time to build but should look good in the Fokker EIII. It was fun to build and I`ll do it again . Now that I know what I am doing :)

 

Thanks ,

Thanks for the great comment s,

 

I did not get much done this week . Still waiting on the HGW PE set and seat belts. I started to paint the prop and worked on the landing gear .

 

To Ernie , I used some left over 1/48th HGW wood decals for the floor boards.

Well I decided to do Manfred Von Richthofen`s A/C I`m still waiting on Parts to arrive in the mail so All that I have done is paint and decal the tail . I still am not sure which turn buckles I want to use . The R&B productions or the GasPatch Models ? I would like some feed back on which turn buckles look the best .

Hi Will,

 

I cannot comment on the Gaspatch turnbuckles, but I have been using those from RB Productions. They are easy to use, look good (IMHO) and are very cost effective. You can see them in action if you take a look at the Roland that I just completed as part of this group build
