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.

Dry fitting of upper vent structure and posts to make sure they align up properly.
Cheers

Mike, I spent 20 years doing that air to air stuff; 10 or so as an weapons & tactics instructor (think Top Gun). A mere quibble of your display. I love the construction, impressive build.

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

The covering so far just to give an idea

The magazines for the guns, the oil and fuel tanks are installed. The fuel tank was huge struggle as in order to fit it I had to file away quite two quite big areas on the underside to accommodate the legs on the firewall mount. I got there in the end. The firewall is held on by four 0.5mm bolts theoretically with nuts on. There is no way on this planet I could get the nuts on so I just had to cheat and glue them. They would be very hard to see anyway.
Basically the fuselage is now done except for 'wood' panels to go on the sides - they are made of metal but have to be disguised as wood. This depends on whether I cover half or not which is where I need your help viewers !
Otherwise the next stage is to start on the lower wing.

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