Fokker E.III

Perhaps not the best choice for a next project. Small pieces and a lot of wires to add.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/9/6/8/306968-28909-48-720.jpg)
Came out decent though. Somewhere the wheels got lost in the last 2 years...
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/9/6/9/306969-28909-62-720.jpg)
I was proud of the wiring, before the support behind the guns came loose.

This was one of the first kit bought. The Hurricane and Spit are not good enough to be shown here....
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/9/7/1/306971-28909-13-720.jpg)
The Stuka. Fit was quite nice, except for the canopy. Lacked the necessary skills for repairs, so just glued it on.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/9/7/2/306972-28909-80-720.jpg)
I think the paint job was decent

The recognisable gull wing
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/9/7/4/306974-28909-56-720.jpg)
Bombs away!
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/9/7/5/306975-28909-69-720.jpg)
I put a lot more effort in the He-111
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/9/7/6/306976-28909-56-720.jpg)
Filling gaps, sanding (I hate sanding), re-scribing lines
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/9/7/7/306977-28909-38-720.jpg)
I tried some weathering as practise for my F-89
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/9/7/8/306978-28909-18-720.jpg)
Could this be some dirt, left by the feet of the crew?
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/9/7/9/306979-28909-23-720.jpg)
The under side is dirty
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/9/8/0/306980-28909-13-720.jpg)
I feel like I overdid it in some spots
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/9/8/1/306981-28909-46-pristine.png)
I just had to have this, I built this as my very first kit, way back
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/9/8/2/306982-28909-26-720.jpg)
During the build the memories came back, just as the nightmares
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/9/8/3/306983-28909-93-720.jpg)
The 3rd engine in the tail looks like ****. The white in the decals doesn't like the aluminum underside, and the windscreen for the cockpit is just... at best the decal
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/9/8/4/306984-28909-45-720.jpg)
I do like the stand though. Gives it a bit of swoosh
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/9/8/5/306985-28909-29-pristine.png)
Next up, one of my all-time favorite birds!
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/9/8/6/306986-28909-15-720.jpg)
Fits like a glove!
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/9/8/7/306987-28909-98-720.jpg)
Hardly any troubles in the build
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/9/8/8/306988-28909-11-720.jpg)
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/9/8/9/306989-28909-29-720.jpg)
According to the instructions, the exhaust nozzle should be glued at the end of the fuselage. I can't find any pictures in my books that support this. So I just went with the pictures
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/9/9/0/306990-28909-62-720.jpg)
I skipped panel line washes as I was keen to build.....
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/9/9/1/306991-28909-67-pristine.png)
My pride and joy, until the F-89 is finished
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/9/9/2/306992-28909-91-720.jpg)
This is such a cool jet. One of the most beautiful ever built. I think she could give a Cougar/Panther a run for 1st prize

Build was quite easy, good fit. But who thought that to insert the cockpit through the bombbay was a good idea, must have been drunk

The Voodoo does look good Martin - it's one of my favourite modern jets as well.

Sweet ride down the memory lane 👍. I very much like these reflections, thanks for putting it together.

Thank you guys. For your pleasure I have brought this up to date.

Some awesome rides there, Marty! I'm gonna take a stab in the dark, that the KW Aerodyne is the Revell 1/32 scale version?

Martin, I kinda figured. If it was 1/25-1/24, I would've seen it in my newsfeed. Still looks awesome though! I have the AC/DC combination, on my bedroom shelf, in 1/32. I had to give it a try, but it's definitely not my scale. They do have some amazing kits though, in that scale. Jarrett was a big fan of them. I've not seen that guy around, for a while though. Hope he's doing ok?

Nice assortment of builds, and I especially like that Scorpian. It's on my to-do list in 1/48 one of these days.

After my infamous start with the Fokker D VIII (WALL OF SHAME: Revell Fokker D VII | Album by Mahoo76) and some of which I'm too ashamed, my skills have evolved. I hope for the better.
