I was thinking about getting this kit....slightly less so now.
Good luck.

Well...here's an update on the Fokker..

Tried my hand at "simulating" wood. This is the first application of artist oils over Vallejo Sand....

 

[RedDragon62]

This is the final result. I was stressing doing this but had a blast painting it in the end. i'm pretty proud of it being my first time and all.

Prop's definitely looking good

 

[RedDragon62]

Thanks Quralane. Man...I was stressing having to do it. Sounds crazy but I was dreading it. never did one before but once the painting started...it was a blast!

 

[RedDragon62]

Okay....Update time.

This kit gave me fits. Nothing fit right and had a heck of a time with the "Future." But, here we are.

Three coats of Future. Waiting for this girl to dry so I can continue with the weathering and decals.

Criticism and advice welcome....

 

[RedDragon62]

Added the prop....

So it continues. Will update once the Decals are in place. Cheers!

 

[RedDragon62]

Decals on....

Sweet! I've always wanted to build a triplane. Not sure my skills are up to par for a kit with the problems you describe just yet though. Great job

She looks good , it really is a poor kit and a bit of a nightmare to put together ,but you've done an excellent job , I like the prop too

Levo...I used a base of yellow Vallejo paint. Let it "cure" for a few days. I then used "Burnt Umber" oil paint and brushed it on. Waited a few hours and went over the prop with a "Clean" brush to remove excess oil paint. Waited a few hours more and took a "clean" 000 brush and started making the lines and knots. Waited 24 hours then shot some "Future" over it

Yeah...This kit was pretty bad but I think she came out okay.
