Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 14, 2013 Administrators Posted April 14, 2013 Hi all, finally finished the Fokker E.III in Max Immellmann's 'colors'. Since he was awarded the Blue Max medal, I placed a replica of the Pour le Merite on the base. I have added HGW seatbelts. A wooden prop (by Douglas Craner). Bob's Buckles and EZ line. Now, on with the DH.9a! Cheers, Jeroen 6

coolboxx Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 That is FANTASTIC !!! every part just comes together beautifully but the engine cowl with mg on top WHOO! 1
Wingco57 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Another magnum opus Jeroen, The base goes very well with it too. Cees 1
DougN Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Well done Jeroen! Should be a nice addition to your collection Doug 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 14, 2013 Author Administrators Posted April 14, 2013 Thnx guys. Glad you like it. It's a great kit.
Administrators James H Posted April 14, 2013 Administrators Posted April 14, 2013 Jeroen, did I ever tell you that I hate you. Your talent hacks me off. Your posts fill me with envy and I throw my own projects against the wall immediately afterwards! Seriously, this is bloody superb. I really am very envious of this. It's without a doubt the best Eindecker I've seen to date. You must be real proud of that one. 2

Grant Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I'm getting jaded by the number of times I say "amazing" or "wonderful" or "superb" Jeroen. Each completed model raises your personal bar further and further - here's another great one for the collection mate ! What's next? Something a little more modern or are you still gripped by the WnW's bug? 1
PAnderson Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 That is a superb example of our hobby, or is it a profession in this instance? I love the weathering and the "oldness". Great job Jeroen! Paul 1
LindsayT Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Beautiful bird, Jeroen. Really nice restrained rib shading. You can be proud of this one. LT 1
One-Oh-Four Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Hate U2! But only because you drink Cava. Cheers buddy! Cavia? How do you liquefy such an endearing rodent? All silliness aside (yes, I know the drink misses the i...), Jeroen, I really like your model. The weathering and most of all the aluminium "cringles"! And I won't say anything about the size of the base..... 3

The weathering and most of all the aluminium "cringles"! And I won't say anything about the size of the base..... Dammit! I knew you had to mention the base! I just didn't see it first time reading your post! This ones' for you. Watch the whole freakin thing! 1
One-Oh-Four Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Watched the whole vid.... Aaaaaaaahhh the A-Goooo-Ny!!!!! Game Over indeed! I'll never ever say something about your too small bases again! I think...........
beaz Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 This is what it's all about for me: History, courage, skill, engineering, design, and a high level of craftsmanship and artistry, all from one little vignette. From the original aircraft's creators and builders, to the pilots and crew, to the design team for this model kit straight through to the modeler himself. The draped Blue Max really seals it all together perfectly, IMO. One of my favorite builds, Jeroen. 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 26, 2013 Author Administrators Posted April 26, 2013 Thnx Kevin, Thank you for your generous reply. Very much appreciated! Cheers, Jeroen
Steven Robson Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Hi Jeroen Now that's a most magnificent Fokker Eindecker. I'll have a good read of your build-log before I start this one. Just stunning work. Clearly, a very Happy Landing. Steven Robson
