Pink is so yesterday. Red is today !!

Well I'm pretty much done with the 1/28 Fokker as Geg64's photo. I really enjoyed doing this one although at first glance at the instructions I wasn't so keen. Hope you like it, happy to have feedback good and bad.

I have decided to give the 3 figures a go that were supplied with the revell kit but got to say that they are absolutely rubbish.

I will try to do something with them but so far only managed to clean most of the flash and now working on the horrendous gaps.

Well, I know you will make them quite nice!
I look forward to seeing them.
 
So after getting the other gun together and spraying both Nato black, I worked more on the prop. After a few tries I got what you see in the pic. Not as good as I would like, but not sure how to get it better. From what I have seen, they were definitely more than 3 pieces of wood. Not sure I can get 4 or 5 bands and not have them look like crap.

Looking good to me. Pantherman
 
OK, propeller is done. Ill go with this. It suffices.

Got the cockpit done. Did a dry fit of the fuselage halves. All good, but I have to fix a mar in the paint. And I am having a hell of a time getting this thing glossy. 3 coats of gloss coat and meh. Tried some future. Meh. Sprayed Tamiya clear red and that seems to have done the trick.

Looking good. I know what you mean about the gloss, it took several coats to mine somewhere near shiny. Pantherman

My first go I dipped the prop is the Future floor gloss. It dried with a nice gloss.

Everything you have here looks really nice.
