Freaking amazing build!!!👍 That engine is so detailed!!!😮 As a mechanic,I see the valve rockers,intake and exhaust manifolds,fuel system,it's just so well made,and your additions,just take it to the next level!!👏👏👏
My grandfather flew FE2bs on night bombing duties from Jan 1918 onwards. His log book shows over 300 hours of operational flying which seems unbelievable from an arcraft which is so bizarre and looks so frail. This model is, as others have commented, also unbelievable - it is really very good indeed, thank you for sharing.
The build and video are amazing, so much so that I found myself impressed with the balls these guys had flying this delicate looking machines into battle, one errant bullet and it’s all over. crazy.

Not really! The perfect music would be either classical or early 1920' Jazz. What he chose is not only too modern for the period but boring and repetitious also! But that's just me and everyone's different.
This period of Aviation is so vintage antique and back to the early industrial revolution. Fabulous job and I would like to build 1/32 Wingnut wings myself but I'm a little weak with the rigging.
A real beauty!!! Truly a work of art!!!! Rahmi Kocaman you have some serious skills!!! I love you work!!!! You are among the very best modelers I have ever seen!!!!! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor!!!!
What a great build....but I kept thinking two things looking at this flying bird cage...one... the guys that flew them had to have not brass ones...but titanium nads....and second ...that von Richthofen blasted a bunch of these out of the sky in his early career (13 of them I believe)
Very nice, I love these pushers. I enjoy using electric guitar "E" strings for rigging. I like the real steel look and nice reflection of light on them. Yours looks terrific! May I please ask what did you use? The rigging brackets on the cabbane struts really look nice. Thank you for your dedication.
Stringbag is an understatement. That rigging looks so complex and tedious. I'm looking at my copy of the kit and wondering how exactly I am going to tackle that rigging. I wish I knew how you achieved that "see-through" finish on the wings. Very authentic look. Congratulations on a great model. Is there another of your videos where you show how you achieved that paint finish on the fabric?
Yes I have an old video about that. Sorry about low quality images and terrible music. Seems like I have to build another WnW with my new setup. th-cam.com/video/Gs_jktONojw/w-d-xo.html
Hello it's me again. Still loving this model. I see "Squadron Mail order" is offering this kit. $129. Im not worried about the price I'm just glad I found the kit. Your turnbuckles on the cables. How did you duplicate those? Mine don't look half as good as yours. Alot of turnbuckles on this jewel. Thank you.
Interesting early fighter design. I can't imagine that upper gun was very useful. It looks like it has a very limited arc of fire and would be very dangerous for the gunner to stand up and operate.
I don't like the Fe.2B. It's a failure construction in WW1. A great heavy fighter and bomber with two MGs for the observer but ten 2nd one was only useless weight. Immelmann, Wintgens and Boelcke downed a lot of them. Neverteless, the Wingnut Wings kit and also the work are Champaign under the ordinary sparkling wines in model kits.
Just looking at the model it is apparent that this aircraft was fragile. It must’ve taken a lot of testosterone to even get into the plane, let alone fly it without a parachute
By all accounts I've read of WW1 aviation, it was considered a death trap for their crews. But so were a LOT of other WW1 aircraft. For that matter, a WW2 bomber crew was no picnic either.
@@PanzerChicken69 this way YES of course..... and Agree WNW is total RIP.... LOTR as well..... i meant he made WNW and this is the thing but he ruined it..... i can't deny that

The rigging is the work of a patient genius. Fantastic model.
Damn I love these winkly wonkly WW1 bomber designs!
i have watched this video so many times. thoroughly enjoyed your video of the build. thank you for sharing. joseph @ singapore
Beautiful work! Thanks for posting.
Grand Slam! A work of art.
She's a beaut! Thanks for sharing.

Bravo, well done Sir. Thank you.
A real beauty! 👍👌👏😍
Beautiful work.
Beautiful build.
Apart from the fact that the build is awesome, you always choose the perfect music for each of your kits!

copy right issues don't always allow for the background music you may like.@@vincentlussier8264
Really nicely finished. Great work.

I like the music!
Wow! And what a cat's cradle!
Awesome work.
It's certainly a beast of an aircraft but, it makes for a marvelous model. Well done.
+Malcolm White Thank you!
My wife tells me that Biggles flew one of these!
Fantastic work with the rigging!👍
The Red Baron,s first confirmed kill. Easy meat for Albatross D-II.

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Cheers!
Masterful work. Bravo!
Thank you very much! I will build and make step by step building video with another one (late version) in 2017, stay tuned!
this is very Good build
Super! +

Wow,that's a showstopper right there Rahmi.some of the close ups look just like the real thing.Brilliant.
Thank you for your kind comment Anton!
Anytime my friend,I'm a firm believer that such displays of excellence should be commended.
fantastik very good
Thank you!
A flying spiders web but looks amazing. Congratulations on your model.

Thank you! I used PRYM Knitting-in elastic. Here's my another tutorial video about it th-cam.com/video/MLAi4XMecG0/w-d-xo.html
Yes,. 009E strings off my Strat work in many areas of model building and many non guitar players freak when I show them my tricks!

Thanks!@@Scaleaton
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
impressive... very impressive! The flying wires are a project unto themselves which is scary to a mere human modeler like myself.
Thank you for your kind comment!
Brilliant build. Where oh where can one find those amazing aircrew figures these days?
I'm looking too. No results yet. Unobtainium?
Did you have any problems with the twin booms flexing under the weight of the model?

How was the spherical nose fabricated on the prototype?
One question keeps bothering me……..how’d they start the engine?
Did you use EZ line to rig this or fine brass sleeves and nylon thread?
I use PRYM 977770 Knitting-in elastic for flat wire rigging, 0.15 fishing line for regular rigging.
nice photos but when will be doing a video of the building of the kit
I will build "Late" version on 2019. I will build 6-8 single seater on next year.
Interesting early fighter design. I can't imagine that upper gun was very useful. It looks like it has a very limited arc of fire and would be very dangerous for the gunner to stand up and operate.
fighter bomber to be correct :) but yes it's a Hell Chariot ;) surprisingly Fe.2b was very sturdy aircraft despite it's look

Wow!! Do your models wind up in museums?
Thanks! Yes, this one build for a private aviation museum in Canada :)

your choice to like it or not. the beauty of this plane is magnificient! love it as well as German Roland CIIa :) Cheers!

Lovely bird. Too bad WnW was run by a giant manchild.
yep...... but without PJ we could not see those kits... i have nothing against him but agree he should take it seriously!
@@NanatsukiBenio Tbh Im not a fan at all of Jackson. Spoiled little manchild fuked up my favourite story (LOTR) and brand (WnW).
@@PanzerChicken69 this way YES of course..... and Agree WNW is total RIP.... LOTR as well..... i meant he made WNW and this is the thing but he ruined it..... i can't deny that
@@NanatsukiBenio Well, we'll be fine Nanatsuki, There's allways Copperstate Models, Special Hobby, Roden etc. And good old paper (books), right?
@@PanzerChicken69 well, yeah but WnW created many greatest subjects :) my personal favourites are Fe.2b and Roland CIIa along with Gotha GIV
