I could get hold of one of those rare kits.

not being able so solder yet, I superglued everything, which was quite fumbly at times.

One or two details at the cockpit were added

RLM2 is the color of the frame. Wooden parts were painted acrylic buff and received a more wooden appearance with oils afterwards.

Eduard wants you to build the strip down kit with a close engine cowling. In my eyes this contradicts the idea of a strip down kit somewhat. So I decided to look for an engine - and found one.

The engine fire wall and the oil tank were scratched and after the nerve wrecking assembly of the forward flaps I could call it done.

I wanted to shoot some better pictures for quite a while.
I find this bird tricky to photograph, or is it just me?!

Thanx Mark. Happy to hear. It was no homerun and sat again and again for month until I gathered the motivation to overcome the hurdles I faced. But now I am happy to look at it.

Nicely done! It was a good decision to replace the closed cowling with the engine, luckily Karaya re-released the old ExtraTech sets.
One day I will solder this kit too as addition to the other stripdown kits of this series.

Danke Bughunter und Dominik.
I hope that Eduard will re-release those strip down kits with improved styrene or/and resin parts as they did with the Fokker Dr.I.

Could it be I saw this one in Lingen yesterday? It is a masterpiece of skill and concentration. You must be a Zen-master! 😉 👍 👍 👍

Hi Ralf, thanks for your nice comment. Indeed, this kit tested my skills, patience and perseverance as it is very fragile and some parts, like the leading edge slats, are quite tricky to assemble. But what you have seen in Lingen must have been another Zen-Master as I happen to work this weekend. 🙂
I case you like that Strip Down stuff, you are welcome to visit my Fokker Dr. I- build too. A kit which is much easier to handle.

Thanks Gorby.
I gotta take some decent pics of this model too. Somehow I always forget.

And thanks again for more likes. Am a little proud to have finished this one after the hard times it gave me. 🙂
