jeroenpeters Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Cheers guys! I'm almost ready for paint. Add the landing lights today and re-did some of the rivets that got lost with sanding. As said before I managed to destroy the prop shaft. Sent Simon of Silver Wings a mail, and behold! Here's an all now prop shaft, well packaged in a plastic container. Very happy boy... Need to polish the landing light covers: Added detail to the open door: And the new prop shaft: Oh! And i drilled out the tail wheel and fitted a brass rod in it for strength.

Troy Molitor Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Have you pick out a color scheme yet? She's looking fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Cheers Roy! I'll be doing the 214, "white mice" scheme: Managed to shoot some lead as well as paint! The aluminium parts received some base alclad and hairspray. The cowling already has some chocolate brown and chipping done. tomv87 and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sweet. Love the Dutch schemes and camouflage. This build just gets better and better. I really hope a G-1 might be considered some day by Silver Wings. They would fantastic side by side. The orange rudder is pretty nice too. Keep them coming.

LSP_Ray Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I was thinking of doing that scheme, too! Nice choice. Is that a Browning 9mm? Looks like a nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Indeed a Browning HP 9mm. Shoots like a dream. Not going about this in the traditional way. That would be: mask everything, spray in one go. Since I'm using the hairspray technique, I'm doing this piece by piece. The reason for this is that the paint hardens out quick, which makes the chipping technique harder if you have too much time in between. mattlow and tomv87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Looking good, Jeroen! I have to try the hairspray technique. It gives the most realistic chipping I have seen, because it is chipped! I am going to have to get one of those Browning Hi-Powers, I love 9mm's. I have a 25-year old Walther P88 Kompact, but it has never been fired, and was actually the photo model for the USA importer's catalog back then - the serial numbers match. Almost too collectible to put a bunch of rounds through. Looking forward to seeing the Fokker in full Dutch camo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Camo is done. Next: a light spray with Future. Decals. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Gorgeous! Found the ID Vac I started about 20 years ago earlier today - I think it's going straight in the bin... Iain jeroenpeters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Interest scheme, I like that it's rather uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen only one ID Vac built of this plane. Pretty well done too. Life is too short for Vac form kits me thinks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
