This is Eduard's old 1/48 scale Fokker DVIII. Since the release of this kit back in 1994, another one has been made by Eduard with far superior plastic parts. As i had this model for such a long time, i decided to build it anyway. It gave some experience with photoetched parts and the fuselage and wing decals. Fit, as you may imagine, is not that good, but the metal parts are fantastic. There are several options for markings, the decals are very well done and survived over 20 years of storage. Bellow you see the kit's parts, instructions and decals. There are several pictures of the construction. I will display the finished model soon right here. Stay tuned!

| The wing of the Fokker D8 is made of wood and not covered with fabric. I decided to represent wood effect under the camouflage. I started the process by painting the wing with several shades of light brown and sand. |
 |
| Next i applied oil paint all over the wing. |
 |
| Next, with a wide brush damped with mineral spirits, i made the wood effect by brushing from one side to the other of the wing removing the excess of oil paint. |
