Hi all – the clock is ticking for 2013 – only a few hours left here in Northern Europe... But I've managed to just squeeze another finished build in this year.

Its the very lovely and problem free Fokker EII/EIII (Early) from WingNutWings. I really had a pleasure building it – just savouring the moment OOB. Rigging is perhaps a bit more demanding than you might think at first, and my only critique would be that the rigging diagram is a bit hard to interpret in some details in the instructions.

Anyway – here it is:

























I hope you like it!

All the best for 2014!

WOW Mikael! Another of your superb Builds and a very fitting end to the year. OOB has not at all been bad to your standards; the metal work is excellent and she's a magnificent model. Well done and all the very best for the New year and the arrival of another "Tiny Terfors"!!
Cheers,
Lance

Mikael,
I like what you have done with the EIII. Your paintwork seems to be right on the Mark and I like the fact that your turnbuckles do not dominate the rigging!

A very fine build Michael. I was just wondering if it was going to be part of a mobile in the baby's room?
