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.

Nearly there now. Gloss coat done tonight so I can start the decals tomorrow. Before anyone asks, no I haven't forgotten the wheels. They will go on tomorrow. Pantherman

Great job! The wings do look like canvas!

Thanks, it's alot of work for such a small model but worth it I think.
I will probably stick with the bigger scale in future. Pantherman

Well, I know you will make them quite nice!
I look forward to seeing them.

So, I agree with Pantherman, no more tiny model.

this one proved to be too tedious, mentally and physically.

Later I'll have post build pics.

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.
