Fokker D.II, 1:32, Special Hobby, Lt. Fritz Grünzweig, Jasta 16

November 21, 2023 · in Aviation · · 21 · 315

Fokker D. II, 1:32, , Lt. Fritz Grünzweig, Jasta 16. My first ever model built in 1:32. I didn't choose the simplest model to begin with. I made a few mistakes there and also dropped my model on the floor before finishing it and splattered all over the room. It took almost a year to force myself to complete it again, but today it's finally finished. It is visible in places on the model, but I am still quite satisfied. Especially with the fact that it ended up in a display case instead of in the trash.

Fritz Grünzweig was a famous cartoonist who painted funny drawings on his airplanes.
