You guys are coming right along! Im still fiddling with the Huey. Havent had a lot of time on the bench the last week or so. Hopefully I will get it wrapped up soon and get on this build.

So I have primed and base coated the wood parts, also primed the major parts white and then one coat of Tamiya red on the 1/48 Eduard fokker.

The Revell 1/28 is waiting for decals and final gloss top coat. View attachment 107804View attachment 107805View attachment 107806Pantherman

Well I have got 2 coats of the red on now so I can start putting it all together over the weekend hopefully.

Not too sure about the red colour yet, hopefully it will look better with the gloss coats over it maybe?

Got a little bit done last night.
I repainted the prop and painted the wheels.
I know both are messy and they will get cleaned up.

Thanks. Got to do some of the metal work painting on the spars over the weekend, maybe start on the engine as well. Pantherman

Engine done and got a bit further with the spars and skids yesterday. Hope to get them finished today. Pantherman

While watching the movie Flyboys I see that the German leader is in a black tri wing.

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. Pantherman

Little bit further along. Man, this devil is small. Done for today as I'm starting to go cross-eyed. Pantherman

Thanks urumomo, I will brass up the ammo and maybe highlight the sights. Pantherman

Both look great. Thinking I am gonna find some resin guns instead of trying to do the PE ones in the kit

Love it all! I like your wood effect on your prop. It looks very realistic.

I think that's a great idea. I wasn't too impressed with the PE for the guns for this kit.

It would certainly be easier, that PE is difficult. Pantherman

Thanks. I really had to get that right as being a carpenter I would never be allowed to live it down. Pantherman

Love this. Yes, this is such a small bugger for sure.
I think the 32s will be better for us with older eyes.

I still have a little ways to go for my plane. I'll probably do some weathering.

Unfortunately I'm working the weekend 7am - 10pm. :-(
