Fokker Eindecker E.II 1/48 Eduard

[Never a Pro]

Hi guys.

 

I would like to share with you my first kit after a 20+ years hiatus from my teenager years. 

It's been so much fun to be back, really proud of my fragile little Fokker.

I also made a 5-part video of the full build, together with comments on historical accuracy of the kit to the original plane, goods and bads of the kit, my mistakes, etc.

I am already working on a second kit, I would love to hear all the feedback I can. 

 

Cheers.

What an absolute beauty!  Really well done wood grain on the prop.

Thanks a lot guys.

 

It was the first time I did some weathering. I don't like to weather too much, but I think I overdid a little, but since it's a fabric plane, it will get dirty and you can't wash it. 

 

I am really happy on how the propeller turned out, first time with oil paints.
