Mike Dowling got a reaction from Piet in Fokker Dr 1 by Mike Dowling - FINISHED - Artesania Latina
I am so sorry Boyd that I was so slow !! No ship in a bottle for me. My next project is actually a plastic Bandai kit of a traction engine. I built it many years ago and gave it away but I really want to do it again as I remember it making up into a super model. After that I now have two more planes in my stash, the Albatross and the Curtiss Jenny, a Dennis fire engine and a London tram which again I have built before but very badly so I want to do it properly next time. so no boats for a while.

Well folks, another project bites the dust ! The Fokker is complete except for the stand. I am waiting for some acrylic glue to make it up with unless I decide to fly it from the ceiling as planned alongside the Sopwith.
Thank you all for watching, showing interest and all your comments. They make the build more fun for me.
Anyway, some pictures for you which hopefully you will enjoy.

Yes Danny, too late for holes.
As you can see I did decide on the half cover option in the end, as much as anything to keep the theme Mark.

Some advice please viewers.
The undercarriage on this plane was formed like a forth wing. On the model it is made of ribs like a wing and thin covered with very thin sheet metal.
In view of the fact that I am half covering this model should I have cover this as well or do it all as per the pictures on the box ?

The top wing is installed - what a fight that was trying to line up with the spars and glue them - it is covered, rigged and painted.
Next step is the undercarriage

I hope it was a joke. I'm sure it was meant to be. Your comments are valid though but not maybe as a reply.

And finally ...........
on it's provided stand and appropriately, under the Sopwith Camel !!
(I still might fly it from the ceiling.)

And finally, finally, I didn't like the stand much. It was too low and so now we have the dogfight from the ceiling !!
