Fokker EV or V111

Thanks guys. the other benefit is you can build up one in a day or 2. sometimes in a few hours.
Next up is the Fokker V111. I did a build thread comparing Marek to Kampflieger's 1/50 scale. Oddly enough the S&P kit has about the same amount of parts minus the rudimentary cockpit. It is my first WW1 aircraft with a very simple rigging across the lower fuselage, landing gear. Michael S is correct, using brush bristles makes this very simple.
the V8 sometimes called EV was a revolutionary monoplane during the times of multiwinged aircraft. It turned out to be a superior aircraft but was built late in the was to effect the outcome. Thankfully Germany didn't remember this lesson in the next war. The model builds into a great little gem and will soon have some fellow "great war" contemporaries.
