Looks good so far.
This Fokker is also still lurking for me. Thanks for detailed description of potential problems 👍

Thanks for your encouragement ! I look forward to your build, which will be fantastic, I'm sure.
I try to balance extra detailing and practical solutions, so it's definitely not the most accurate result, but hopefully the build album can be useful to others, even details masters like you 😉
As mentioned, my main source of information is the Wingnut Wing kit and instructions, including their detailed info about the evolution between the different models of this aircraft.
I'm definitely out of my era here, so learning a lot about that period as I go.

Thanks for your nice words 🙂
The Windsock Eindecker Compendium 1 and 2 are one of the best Datafiles available, from the amount of information, drawings and graphical quality. Highly recommended.

Album info

I picked this kit to start my series of 'serious' WWI aircraft kits, but I probably should have started witha simpler one (fewer wings does not mean simpler!). Still it was a nice build until I hit a decal snag because of the wrong painting instructions by eduard for the wings. Why can't instructions manuals be a bit more accurate ??
The kit itself is a bit old now, not up to eduard's current standard, with parts that need thinning or uneven (fuselage halves), and some over-detailing of the cockpit (parts that won't be seen at all). Still, it's quite decent and enjoyable to build.
