PAnderson Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My Fokker is finished. The ONLY thing I see wrong with these kits is that they are so delicate. Things like the rudder, tailplane and undercarriage have such fine attachment points. Probably because WNW did such a fine job with detail and accuracy. But it has a slight detrimental effect when it comes to handling and maybe longevity. But why am I bitching? I shouldn't be. Here she is,thanks to no rigging to speak of. I hope you like her. I don't know how this picture got rotated. Oops, I missed a spot. That must be fixed. Thanks for viewing. Any critiques and advice is greatly appreciated and welcome.

Jamme Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Great job. I asked the scale and the brand on SP&R forum. Now I see it's also here on LSM, I guess it's the 1/32 WNW kit. Congrats, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAnderson Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks gentlemen, this was a very enjoyable build. A couple of mistakes toward the end, mostly from handling. These kits are very delicate once assembled. I should have waited till the very end to add the tailplane and rudder and rigging since these got damaged from handling near the end. DO NOT necessarily follow the instructions on these kits, page by page I mean. I like what Doogs said about WW1 kits being a different animal when it comes to assembly and painting. I actually painted both halves of the fuse before putting together since masking everything for painting after assembly would have been a real pain in the arse. A whole different learning curve with these kits. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi Paul, That looks mighty fine! Very nice. May i just make one little suggestion? I would probably one add a small pinwash in the prop bolts as a finishing touch! Cheers, Jeroen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
