fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 The fuselage nose as said somewhere above was metal and asymmetrical due to an additional triangular panel on the exhaust side. As you can tell I had forgotten: So had to mask and paint it (the window maker liquid is still curing): I had forgotten as well of the struts for the stab and wing (being primed here): 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 The background companion piece for the Fokker is completed. Fokker F.II did fly to Croydon, and bus was contemporary, not sure they were ever together, but they will be in my universe: These little nostalgia jewels of yesteryear are pleasant to build, and one or two details help bring them back to life (in this case the interior seats, clear windows, lights, radiator cap, etc): For an object that will be placed on the background I think this kit works, and will provide some technological context to the airplane: Ready to jump on for a London ride? More able modelers could have a field day with this nice kit, but as it is, it is pleasant enough: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 The mid-fuselage bottom stitches are added as a decal, also a dangling bit seen in photos -related to the experimental nature of the plane-, plus L.G. legs rigging and control leads: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 The process with the wing continues. Masks off, leading edge results: After spraying the decal bonder to protect the oil (already dried, not when it's fresh), the leading edge is masked and the rest "oiled"; the tape division will produce a panel line: The edge accumulated oil leaves a panel line, a tad too strong in this case: Secondary panel, lines are produced with a pencil, again after protecting the dried oil with decal bonder: You can play this technique to achieve results that will fit your particular taste: How it will look eventually (notice I forgot -again- to paint in metal color a section of the nose, the area right in front of the cockpit. Out with the airbrush once more): 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The wing looks fantastic, it should really catch the eye against the dark blue fuselage! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian Orange and blue are complementary colors, so it's no wonder they look nice side by side. Here the wheels went on: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Wing glued on and details started to be added: four of the six wing struts, aileron horns and control leads, and the varied gizmos that adorn the exterior of this experimental machine (like the one seen here on the stab leading edge and in preparation on the foreground): 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
