Another go at the Revell Fokker E.III...this time in gaudy yellow...about as historically correct as a Machine gun at the battle of Zama but I like the look of it. (and I finally got my entry in for " Plane month" :-D )
Thanks :-) The rigging...!!!!! I made a mistake...I painted the bloody invisible thread before heat tightening it!!!! Still...you live and learn :-/ @Peter...sorry mate...no smileys...only the ones you make up yourself And a merry X-mas to you all...I´m off to get myself into a festive mood...where´s the red wine?? :-D Cheers Paul
Thanks :-) Rigging is strangely annoying and satisfying at the same time...you don´t want to do it...then you do it once and don´t ever want to do it again...but you think, "I can do it better this time" and so it goes on. It´s Not as hard as it looks...said the actress to the bishop. Merry X-mas Paul
You have to visit the RAF in London! It is two massive halls packed with hundreds of WW1/2 Cold War planes. Always a pleasure to read your blog! Merry Christmas! :)
Me like bananas!!! :-)
