Eduard 1/72 Fokker E III - finished

Hello,
Here are a few photos of my recently finished Eduard Profipack Fokker E III. The model, as almost all Eduard kits goes without any major problems. The only problems I created myself, maybe because it was my first model with such rigging.







The model was painted with Misterkit acrylics.





Hope you like it .

Nice weathering Robert

Your model reminds me of the reproduction Fokker E.III at the Aviation Heritage Centre museum at Omaka, Blenheim, New Zealand. Had you seen any photos of that aeroplane to guide you with the weathering? Here is a shot of the underside.

Happy Modelling!

No I haven't seen those photos, the weathering was my own invention. I studied some photos, mainly from "Early German Aces" by Osprey.
After a little discussion on Polish modelling forum I'll probably try to add some mud and dirt spalshes. I hope I can manage this without ruining my model, we'll see.
