Epeeman Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 All, Superb kit from Airfix - excellent standard of fit throughout which made for a nice easy build. The only fiddly part of the kit is the fuselage strip decals which don't align properly so needed touching in with paint. As always, built OOB and brush painted.

Nomis61 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Not the era I usually go for, but I have to say it looks great and it's very tempting to have a crack at one myself! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 A beautiful Eindecker you built there Epeeman !!! I don't build World War I aircraft (I am to lazy an rather frightened by the rigging.) But I admire so very well built old timers. Congratulations. Polo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxzinbox Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Lovely little build! The rigging is so fine and delicate! The model would look pretty sitting on a base scattered with some static grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Very nicely done indeed! I've been looking for a few of those makers plate decals on the cowling for some of my other builds....I wonder.... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Very nice model and build, not really a WWI modeler but have a DVII somewhere in the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry c Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Really nice! I have the kit and the Eduard photo etch set,but looking at your build, it seems unnecessary. I also like your camera work. Well done and well shot. Garry c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 That looks really good. I bought one off the net yesterday, not seen it yet so its good to have them recommended & see how they can come up. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 That looks really very nice indeed. This is a new Airfix I am really interested in buying and having a go at. Beautiful rigging. Did you use Humbrol other paints? I only ask because I really like your shade for the linen. TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 A monplane, and still a veritable spider's nest! Superb build, and I applaud your talent and tenacity as regards that rigging. Impressed. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thank you very kindly, gents - much appreciated. I cannot recommend this kit enough because the standard of part fitting is especially good for Airfix new tool kits. Just a pity only one marking option given in kit. It would be great for Airfix to offer more WW1 aircraft in their range .......... Rigged using Uschi fine elastic thread - fiddly but nice and fine for scale when pulled taught. I would love to see what others more professional than me could achieve with this one. Dave 6 hours ago, TonyTiger66 said: That looks really very nice indeed.

TonyT Hello, Tony - Paints used are Revell Aqua colours - beige silk matt mixed with light grey to get a better shade of yellowed linen. Hope this helps if you decide to have a crack at this one.

Kasparov Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm building it now. It really is an excellent little joy of a kit! Very nice build you made of it, I hope mine will come close in quality! I'm a bit daunted by the rigging but I will take a crack at it regardless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
