Hello, everybody

This is my current build. Actually, the work was started about 3 years ago, but for some reasons I had to freeze the project.. And a couple of weeks ago I returned to the Fokker

Here are the photos of how the model looked like when I stopped

p.s. sorry for the quality of the photos.

Working on the engine cowling
I painted it with acrylic metallic matt lacquer to get any non-coincidences more visible and use sandpaper to smooth the edges.
After that the side parts were glued. As you see, I had to cut out those parts in different way because of the wing profile. May be it's my mistake..

The fuselage
Added some parts to get more realistic looking and again acrylic lacquer

Thank you, guys

to solo67
yes, you're right, for free models the cut-outs look great. Modele Kartonowe is an interesting site.
Your Fokker looks very realistic

I wish I could build such a model
