Fokker E.III

Perhaps not the best choice for a next project. Small pieces and a lot of wires to add.

January 14, 2017
Came out decent though. Somewhere the wheels got lost in the last 2 years...
4
January 14, 2017
I was proud of the wiring, before the support behind the guns came loose.

This was one of the first kit bought. The Hurricane and Spit are not good enough to be shown here....

The Stuka. Fit was quite nice, except for the canopy. Lacked the necessary skills for repairs, so just glued it on.

I think the paint job was decent

The recognisable gull wing

Bombs away!
10
January 14, 2017
I put a lot more effort in the He-111
11
January 14, 2017
Filling gaps, sanding (I hate sanding), re-scribing lines
12
January 14, 2017
I tried some weathering as practise for my F-89
13
January 14, 2017
Could this be some dirt, left by the feet of the crew?
14
January 14, 2017
The under side is dirty
15
January 14, 2017
I feel like I overdid it in some spots
16
January 14, 2017
I just had to have this, I built this as my very first kit, way back
17
January 14, 2017
During the build the memories came back, just as the nightmares
18
January 14, 2017
The 3rd engine in the tail looks like ****. The white in the decals doesn't like the aluminum underside, and the windscreen for the cockpit is just... at best the decal
19
January 14, 2017
I do like the stand though. Gives it a bit of swoosh

January 14, 2017
Next up, one of my all-time favorite birds!
21
January 14, 2017
Fits like a glove!
22
January 14, 2017
Hardly any troubles in the build

According to the instructions, the exhaust nozzle should be glued at the end of the fuselage. I can't find any pictures in my books that support this. So I just went with the pictures
25
January 14, 2017
I skipped panel line washes as I was keen to build.....
26
January 14, 2017
My pride and joy, until the F-89 is finished
27
January 14, 2017
This is such a cool jet. One of the most beautiful ever built. I think she could give a Cougar/Panther a run for 1st prize

Build was quite easy, good fit. But who thought that to insert the cockpit through the bombbay was a good idea, must have been drunk

The Voodoo does look good Martin - it's one of my favourite modern jets as well.

Well, that's praise from one of the masters! Thank you.

Just so you know that I checked, Martin 😉

Thank you for sharing. A beautiful line up.

Thank you guys. For your pleasure I have brought this up to date.

Some awesome rides there, Marty! I'm gonna take a stab in the dark, that the KW Aerodyne is the Revell 1/32 scale version?

Lots of beautiful builds here, Martin.

fabulous collection my friend

Martin Oostrom
You're right Bozzer. That's the little red K100

Same as Spanjaard! 👍

Now that's a solid portfolio 👍

Martin, I kinda figured. If it was 1/25-1/24, I would've seen it in my newsfeed. Still looks awesome though! I have the AC/DC combination, on my bedroom shelf, in 1/32. I had to give it a try, but it's definitely not my scale. They do have some amazing kits though, in that scale. Jarrett was a big fan of them. I've not seen that guy around, for a while though. Hope he's doing ok?

Nice assortment of builds, and I especially like that Scorpian. It's on my to-do list in 1/48 one of these days.

Excellent work in this teaser model. Great collection 👍

A Good Collection of builds Martin does your skills justice.

Album info

After my infamous start with the Fokker D VIII (WALL OF SHAME: Revell Fokker D VII | Album by Mahoo76) and some of which I'm too ashamed, my skills have evolved. I hope for the better.
