Fokker F-27 Friendship, in 1/57, design by Gerard Methorst.

Greetings. Gerard's design is very good, it fits very well, his system of double formed by section, which for more than try not to make it work so I make eyelashes.
At first glance I thought it would be simple, I was wrong. nothing simple, it was difficult to interpret where and how to locate several internal parts, I was solving this as it moved slowly.
The piece that closes the fuselage and the cabin and windshield was the most complicated, I failed to give optimal shape, I managed to accommodate it but not is the ideal. My mistakes, everything fits very well.
The result pleases me, I had fun, the F-27 gave a good battle, I know I could do better, although not always everything will be perfect. Another great design by Gerard, again I appreciate your cordiality, I have another of your designs ready to begin.
I forgot to take pictures during the WIP, sorry. The model is huge for what I'm used to build, it also served as experience to handle these sizes. Greetings and thanks.

Considering all those difficulties you had with this F-27, in the end it turned out into a great model. Really nice work. Looks very neat!

If you ever want to try a really beautiful and very professional F-27, try the kit made by Paper Trade in Holland (- Zeist Bouwplaten - Import, verkoop, ontwerp en productie van papieren schaalmodellen, maquettes en bouwplaten (cardmodels), Modelbouw, Rietveld cutoutmodels). It is perhaps the best F-27 I've ever seen. That doesn't mean your model is not good. It is excellent and extremely well made. I just can't imagine how nice a Paper Trade F-27 will come out if you build it as nice as you have built the one you show us here. Congratulations sir.

Thank you very much everyone, always so kind. Know my liking for the designs of Gerard, very nice, and especially the work of interpretation prior to the first cuts is super-interesting.
Patestein, thank you very much, for the comment and the link. Many interesting models, I will keep it in mind.
