against my initial intention I decided to add the engine louvres visible in the photo.

Adding the nose looks more tricky than it is. After some dryfitting it went together without problems and with a perfect fit

Hi Martien - thanks! I have added some more pictures from the cockpit.
Unexpectedly I have to do some minor modifications to the front and the cockpit enclosing to match the real aircraft which slows me down.

Thank you all.
The nice autumn weather and a lot of work in the office kept me away from my Fokker.

Album info

This will be a Swiss Fokker DVII. I have two pictures of this aircraft (most probably the photos show the same aircraft) with one legend stating this to be number 608. At that time (1922) no number was painted on.
