So, here's my first scratch build - all gussied up as Bongartz plane.
Here presented between a couple of random official little Fokkers, for comparison:
Actually, this is a failed prototype.
The plan was to figure out a method of building several Fokkers, at least a flight, from scratch more or less assembly-line style.
Unfortunately, when the prototype was finished and painted with a base coat, I found that the end result wasn't quite up to par.
So, for my planned flight, I put this prototype aside to try something else. I'm now looking at casting most parts in resin - though there's a bit of a learning curve there (at the moment stuck in a trial & error phase with the molds).
I decided to paint it anyway, when I was in a painting mood the other day but didn't quite have the energy to build something new - so I thought, what the h-, might as well do this one, warts and all.
