Eindecker

Here's a pic of my effort on the little Eindecker. This is kind of out of my wheelhouse, as I usually build cars, but it's great to try something different.
Really enjoying putting this together, it's a very nice model with no dramas so far.
I know MichaelS has built this already, I am building it because it features in Wonder Woman.

I really enjoyed it. Suggest you get yourself a paint brush and get it rigged my friend.

Once I get the undercarriage done - it looks 'fun' .

Looking good gotham. Hope you enjoy this one enough to want to do more planes.


Long live 1/100!

Hi guys - quick update on build.
Wings curved and on, undercarriage on. Undercarriage was 'fun', involved very careful cutting with a sharp scalpel. Quite happy with it, only time will tell if it will support the plane.

Neat job gotham. Unless you've filled the fuselage with lead the undercarriage will support it!

Thanks Rata, don't want to be re-gluing it from time to time. Basically, I don't want to have to go near there again.
Think I'll maybe tackle the engine now.

I cheated. Did my undercarriage out of .020 & .015 plastruct. After all the real thing was made with steel tubing.

Michael - having used the card parts for the undercarriage I can see why you used something else. It involves some very careful cutting, and a surgeon steady hand.
