Fokker E.V (D.VIII) stripdown : finished the model

[Mark_1984]

I've recently finished the der Kampfflieger Fokker E.V (D.VIII) stripdown model. Here are some photos of the finished model.

It's a crackin little model. A very clean laser cut kit, with some very small parts. As you can see, the result is pretty good.















I did do a build thread which can be seen on the UK Paper Models forum. UK Paper Models supplied the kit and the service I've had from them has been faultless.

Hereis a link to the build thread

Great job Mark! I've always liked this type of model, being able to see the bones so to speak.

Hey Mark,

What an amazingly clean and good-looking build. Another historically interesting and very fine model by 1:72 scale WW I airplane card model master Roman Vasilyev. I am just going to have to buy it very soon . . .

This is my Nr.1 WW I favourite airplane - the fast and agile 'Flying Razor' D.VIII monoplane, which got off to such a bad start due to poor workmanship of the all-wooden cantilever parasol wing.
According to legend, it is supposedly the plane with the last 'kill' in WW I, before the end of the fighting and the armistice in 1918.

A truly historical model and a very precise build indeed in this scale - superb work.

All the best,
Bengt
