Hi everyone.
I'm going to build 1/32 Fokker F.I pilot - Red Baron and aircraft number is F.I 102/17.




First of all I painted cock-pit tubes and replaced a magneto from right side to the left side as it was on a real plane. Secondly I painted an engine, and started to work with cock-pit. I painted the floor in wooden, other parts in black, made control cables



Next I painted both sides of cock-pit in "rain-camo" and covered it highly diluted gray paint (for simulattion paint exudation)




to be continued...

Hello Oleg;

You certainly whipped that one together! Very nicely done. I did one a while back and had difficulty with the cabane struts. Did you experience any fit problems in that area?

Best
