FOKKER SCOURGE

[miamiangler]

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 ,

Lovely progress so far. You have captured the look of the different textures and various materials to perfection. good stuff.

It take time to build but should look good in the Fokker EIII.

 

Thanks ,

Agreed Willi, your engine also looks superb.

 

Keep it up.

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.

 

 

 

 

Thanks ,

Thanks Peter ,

 

It took a lot of trial and error ,but I think I got the hang of doing the metal work . The build is stalled till I get the PE set and HGW seatbelts from RollModels . I did finish the Germania prop and IMG 08 Spandau machine gun .

 

 

 

Thanks ,Willi

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 .

 

 

 

Thanks ,

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

Fit the Taurus engine into a thinned down cowling .It`s only dry fit till I get the fuselage done .

[miamiangler]

Thanks Maru5,

 

I finally started the process of closing up the fuselage . I added the HGW seat belts .

 

 

 

 

More to come soon .

Willi, that engine and cowling look freakin' awesome! The whole thing looks great but the engine is particularly amazing. Well done Sir.

 

Cheers,

Wolf

I agree with Wolf, that engine and cowl is stellar.
