Der kleine Fokker ist fertig


Ready to head out over the trenches for some Tommy Hunting. Those clever Huns saved a huge amount of time by not rigging these guys!

A nice build from our departed friend Zio Prudenziati. I have to say that if you build one of these or any of his bipes you need to check the landing gear. This one has the LG way to splayed. I did his Albatros D.V in the normal 1/72 scale and it was too wide as well. Other than that it turns out very nice. Adding the side strengtheners and wing spars from card really makes it sturdy. I also embedded .008 music wire in the struts and lg legs. Takes a few extra minutes but the wings pretty much snap together like a plastic kit when the struts are stiffened.
