The latest new arrival chex iggie:
Airfix 1/72 Fokker E.II Eindecker
Two grey sprues in the now normal Airfix soft-ish and very slightly textured grey plastic, smaller sprue gates overall than some other new tools, and the detail is superb; look at the close up of the machine gun!! No need for PE on that
The instructions are in the now normal pattern with colour highlights of certain parts, and good positive location pointers. There is also a rigging diagram and location positions are moulded into the components; all that is needed is to drill out the holes if using line or elastic type rigging
Decals are nicely printed but appear a little thicker than other recent offerings; new supplier perhaps...

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Lovely lovely lovely. Sprue gates on the fragile bits look suitably small, too.
Is this your sanderling?.

Mouth-wateringly tempting. I can see the dogfight double box will be a definite purchase.

That looks nice cheers for the review.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

That Spandau is stunningly detailed for an injected part! I'll definitely be picking one of these up.
