Fokker Dr.I 1/48 Eduard + base

[Wolwe82]

Hey guys, after pretty long time i m creating new WIP.. well, lets see if i ll have time for the updates  

 

 I m going to build this Dr.I as a birthday gift for my Brother-in-law. He wanted it to be one of the full-red Richthofen´s machines, possibly with some base. Sooo lets give it a try  

 

 So far i have started to work on the cockpit - added some details here and there (new construction on the cockpit "sidewalls", reinforced area on the cockpit floor and more) , made all new seat bulk, thinned the metal plate which ll be covering the nose later, created new padding there.. More to be done yet  

 

 

 

 

 

I have also made some fuel tank, added details on the ammo boxes, finished the engine, thinned the engine cover - all of these parts needs to be taken on photos yet  

 

Sooo, update later

I'm looking forward to seeing the next update. From what you've shown so far this is going to be very nice indeed!

That is a really good rendition of the famous machine. Pity about the base but I hope that your brother in law appreciates it - I certainly do!
