[@oldmanthings]

Incredible! Thank you!

[@LeftyS7]

Truly amazing, gorgeous work. The cost must be staggering.

[@AchimEngels]

Justa lot of work.

Where do you source the steel tubing and what grade is it ? Phenomenal work ! I got a set of Jim Kiger drawing just to study the assembly and construction methods. I see your name mentioned on them!

[@AchimEngels]

Steel tubing is the same mld steebung as was used back then. It is readily available in Germany under DIN 2391 (EN 10305-1), seamless cold drwan thin walled steel tubings. These are available in St35, St37 and St52 grade. Fokker used steel tubing with a tensile strenght of 40-45kg/Square milimeter which falls in the rage of St 37.

Now this is really something!! Thats a wonderfull job... are those for museum or for private sale?

[@AchimEngels]

Those aircraft are made for flying. I was commisioned to build them for others and made one for myself.

[@AlexModeling]

Amazing! i wish you all the best for your´s (and of corse for the others as well):)

[@AchimEngels]

Who built this, it is awesome!

[@AchimEngels]

+Keith Duffield I did. Thanks for the compliment.

[@biglift1]

is there a video of its maiden flight ?

[@AchimEngels]

Yes there is. The plane is currently on loan to "The Australian Vintage Aviation Society" until 2030. They operate it. You may check out their FB page, website and videos.

[@biglift1]

thank you !

[@NinjaViking1]

This is the third video I has seen now.... and I cannot get the sound to work...... what is wrong with your sound?

[@AchimEngels]

+NinjaViking1 Nothing wrong with it. There is no sound going with those slides shows. Just switch on any background music you´d like. I am not into telling others whatthey want to hear and I am not interested in KZbins copyright violation politics of deleting stuff for no other but pseudo commercial reasons covered under copyright protection claims. The sole intention is to show photographs of how these aircraft are put together, not to provide cheap entertainment.

[@viktorroswell1041]

We don’t need sound it’s a relief NOT to listen to crap music thank you for the slideshow absolutely brilliant, better made than the original aircraft in my opinion

[@AchimEngels]

@@viktorroswell1041 Thank you very much. It is actually made the very same way, except for the fact that this was built by only few hands and in no time presure. Quality may indeed be better than back then.
