FOKKER SCOURGE

[miamiangler]

Hi Everyone,

 

The Fokker Scourge was the period of the ascendancy of the Fokker Eindecker monoplane fighter aircraft of the Imperial German Fliegertruppen.

 

My daughter got me the WNW Fokker Eindecker for Christmas . So this is the next kit I`will be doing. I have the awesome Taurus engine and sparkplugs .Many thanks to Mr Lukasz. I`m hoping to start building next week .

 

 

Thanks ,

Here`s the kit I will be using for this build :

 

 

I started with the engine .It has many very small parts .I broke 3 of the part #5 so I hope to get replacement for them .

 

 

I am still experimenting with bare metal foil for the jeweling of the metal . I have a few more bits to try with the dremel tool . I will post some photo`s as soon as I have my results .

Thanks ,

 

some of the builds were from last year , just improved on some of the parts and checking the models a week before the contest seemed to have helped . I did take my camera but the batteries went dead ! A Big Thanks goes out to Flight 19 for holding the IPMS Contest .

 

 

Well this is what I have done today . Still some more trials to go .

 

 

Thanks ,

Willi - that looks really good. The metal seems to have the same swirls as the real plane.I definitely like it so far. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Hi Everyone ,

I have been side tracked on some 1/48th projects I wanted to finish for a show next weekend .I have been working on 3 Me 262 `s.

Back to this topic . I just received my replacement parts I needed for the engine .A big THANKS goes out to Mr Luckasz for sending the parts I needed . He has also added something in the package that I will be using here on this build . I will post photo`s of the Aircraft Maintenance stand as soon as I build it . The detail on the resin parts look awesome !

 

 

 

20 minutes of work cutting out the parts and sanding this is as far as I got today .

 

 

Thanks ,

Neat work Willi, the wood decal looks geat.

I'm keen to see how the wooden trestle table works out. That looks like a nice accessory.

 

Cheers.
