1/72 Eduard Fokker E.III Weekend Edition

Fokker E.III, 246/16, flown by Oberleutnant Max Immelmann, Kek Douai, France, June 1916.

Here is something I said  I would never do, a 1/72 WWI aircraft with rigging, but hey, sometimes you need to challenge yourself.

Painted with Gunze, Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo metal colour and oil paints. Vallejo matte varnish for final coat.

The decals for the crosses have the big white square background, but I masked and painted the white squares and cut out the crosses from the decal sheet. The rigging is Uschi 1/72 scale rigging. 

The base I made fro ma piece of pine, routed a fancy edge, stained and varnished, than added a piece of grass mat, added some Nature-In-A-Pot "scat 01" some Gamers Grass flowers and Woodland Scenics field grass.

Really enjoyed this little build.
