Xmald Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Hello, I`ve decided to show you some of my older models, so here`s the first one. The kit is well known oldie goldie. I mus admit I really enjoyed building it. There is a lot of things that have been replaced and altered... I thought this one would be a rather quick build but it turned out to be something longer for my standards... My model depicts or is rather inspired by the Deperdussin from Oslo Teknisk Museum. I`m aware that there are plenty of errors and flaws in my build, but I`m relatively happy with the result.

Wlad Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Gorgeous build. Not knowing anything about this plane, I cannot spot any of the errors you mentioned. Please post pictures of the Demoiselle you showed beside the Deperdussin. Is it scratch built or is there a kit? Must be tiny. Cheers, Wlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Along comes Leonardo da Vinci and apologises for his work! What a beautiful result there Sir! In about fifty years I may be half as good. I love the way the engine looks about half the size of the rest of the plane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 A beautiful model. Just looking at all those turn buckles has brought me out in a cold sweat! Amazing work. It's also good to see an aircraft from the pioneering age which hasn't been that well represented by kit manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That is a wonderful buil Xmald. The attention to detail is remarkable, and very aspirational. Looking at this little delicate thing it is remarkable that in just 4 years the Fokker Eindecker was fighting over the western front with a synchronised machine gun. Andrew.

Spitfire31 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It is, indeed, a relatively (!) good model. In fact, she is superb, convincingly capturing that apparent delicacy and finesse of the original. Superb work. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Absolutely stunning, the more so considering the kit that you started from. You have truly captured the delicate nature of this machine and your conversion/extra details are superb. Just what we expect from your bemch.
