Fokker E.III from Modele-Kartonowe

[Foxbat]

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.

Outstanding work there Foxbat :).

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..

[Foxbat]

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

[Foxbat]

the result

[Foxbat]

chassis frame
material - toothpicks and super-glue, and the lacquer

[Foxbat]

Dryfitting
that's all so far.
to be continued...

Just wonderful. The cowling looks amazing!

very nice build .loking forword to see it finished.
i hav built it a year ago and i must say that for a free model it is great
but the instructions are very poor.
this is what it came out like...

[Foxbat]

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

Excellent clean work, and the work you did on the cowling really came out great...

Looking good foxbat!

[redhorse]

Looks great! And thanks for the pictures of the wing laminations, I'm about to start on a set of similar wings and those pics are most helpful.

[Foxbat]

Thanks, guys :)
more progress soon

[Foxbat]

Sergey that is the best build of that particular model I have ever seen - beautiful.

[cdwheatley]

Stunning, absolutely stunning!

[jagolden01]

Outstanding!
The cowl and the landing gear really stand out.

[milenio3]

It sure looks amazing!!!

I can see you put a windshield... how you did it?

Also the tires are great.

The details are superb!

[Foxbat]

Hi guys
Thank you all :)

@ milenio3
I used transparent folio, cut it with the shape of the windshield, given in cut-outs

I see a number of things that you did different in construction then I did, and yours looks awesome. I even had three kids helping me! I am going to give this model another try, I like it a lot, and after seeing your, I am inspired!

[Foxbat]

Yes, you're right. I think using different than paper materials gives more realistic view. Unfortunately, my Fokker isn't flawless, specially the tail part of the fuselage.. I can say for sure, 3 years ago my abilities for modeling weren't so good..
When I look at it, I can see a big difference between the front and the tail parts of the fuselage.. but.. generally, it looks good :)

Very beautiful!

[Foxbat]

Hi guys
one more photo, after the Photoshop ;)

[cdwheatley]

Yes, very nice, but that's obviously a real aircraft; how about another picture of your model :D.

[B-Manic]

very realistic effect - I like it
