Title: 1/64 Fokker D-XX1 commenced 14/8/16- Completed 11/12/16
Post by: Boomerang on August 25, 2016, 01:18:48 AM
  Also on the list for a while and started at same time as XFT-1.

I didn't check the scale until I was well into it. Works out around 1/65.

I'll decide whether to do it as Dutch or Finnish later.

Cheers

Where the D-XX1 is at. needs some finesse on the engine and cowling.

The simulated fuselage stringers disappeared under a bit of over eagerness with grey primer.

Propeller from plastic ice cream container.

Should be finished by Christmas .

Cheers

Gordon

Looking good Gordon! Nice rib feathering.

I like your idea of using the ice cream tub plastic for the propeller. My next model will be a 1/72 Halifax and I've been struggling with how to make the propellers. I'm nervous making a 3 blade prop out of wood at this scale but cutting them from plastic and even shaping them a little with a heat gun is a great idea.

Needs further work on propeller and engine.
