Hi all,
Here is my latest completion - the Eduard 1/48 Fokker E.V, in its Weekend Edition boxing. I built this one straight out of the box with the addition of seat harnesses from Tamiya tape. For the fabric covered areas, I ended up using the Aviattic lozenge decals, which are transluscent and therefore you can get some neat effects with pre-shading. I painted the wing in the colours of the 'current' theory for these aircraft - i.e. a streaked 4 colour wing.
The aircraft is painted in the markings of Fokker E.V 149/18, attributed to Ltn Friedrich Liebig of Jasta 1, Helesmes airfield, October 1918.
Work in progress pics can be seen here:

All comments and criticisms welcome - that's how I learn!
Cheers,
BC

Very nice build! Really looking the part, very good for the scale and the WE. Good move on the Aviattik lozenge.
How was the underside stitching done?
