Fokker E.III

'The Deadly Scourge'

By: Steve Lawson

The E.III was the result of the Fokker Company's progressive modifications to it's original M.5. The length of the wings and the engine application were key indicators to the identity of a given airframe's nomenclature. The production E.I had an 80hp Oberursel (U.0) rotary and wings of 8.95 m in length. The production E.II had the 100hp Oberursel (U.I) and wings of 9.75 m (9520mm.) The E.III had the 100hp Oberursel (U.I) with wings of 9.99 m (10030mm.) Some experimentation was undertaken with a few individual airframes, as early type Seimens- Halske and Goebel- Goe engines were installed. The Fokker fighter's synchronized, air-cooled Spandau Maxim Machine Gun LMG .08 was the final ingredient that cracked the proverbial whip. This 'scourge' manifested itself in the allied crews it came up against, as they considered themselves 'Fokker Fodder.

The Eduard kit was issued twice before being discontinued. The first issue was in a yellow 'wood grained' box. The second issue was in a grey 'wood grained' box. The simulated 'fabric sag' added a great deal to the kits overall look. The use of brass etch pieces made this kit a real joy to work with. In this review I will build one each of Eduard's first and second issue kit.

Step 1. Begins with the Seat in either plastic (PP4) or brass (PE 31.) Add a small dollop of putty to the brass item's seat base to represent a cushion. You can assemble the Harness Straps (PE 38 X 4) and the Harness Buckles (PE 39 X 4) then paint. I prefer the brass Seat (PE 31.) This would have an aluminum coloured back and arm support and the base (if left with out a cushion) would be plywood coloured.

Step 2. The Cockpit Tub (PE 30) can serve as a template for a scratchbuilt version. It will be found that the kit item (PE 30) is .040 too wide for the Fuselage Halves (PP 1 & 2.) If you go with the kit item (PE 30) then you will have to remove .020 of plastic from each of the interiors if the Fuselage Sides (PP 1 & 2.) Even when I scratchbuild interiors I tend to cut down the interior sidewalls as they always need space for the scale parts that are to be added. The problem with this kit's interior brass is that it tends to be too flat. All internal / skeletal structure or framework should be fully round in relief. By cutting away the sidewalls you'll also make room for the brass Seat Assembly (PP 31). If unaltered the brass Seat is a little too large. Add the Air Flow Adjustment Lever (PE 34) to the forward left side of the Cockpit. The attachment point for the Shock Absorbers (PE37) does not line up with the External contact area of the Landing Gear Struts (PP 19.) Match the location of PE 37 with the external indentations for the Landing Gear Struts (PP 19.) The Fuel Pump (PE 40) is little more than a silhouette and bears replacing with either a scratchbuilt item or a replacement may be gleaned from the local Model Rail Road shop in the form of a white metal bicycle pump in about 'O' gauge (1/43 scale.) The Instrument Panel (PE 33) such as it was on the original aircraft held the Oil Pulsator Glass, and Fuel On/Off and Engine Magneto Switches. Its placement should be vertically spanning the forward corner of the Cockpit on the pilot's right. It is shown incorrectly spanning a Fuselage Bay horizontally. Another instrument the Starter/Ignition Switch would be found above the Morrell Phalax Tachometer, represented here as part of the Ammo Box Assembly (PE 32.)

Steps 3 - 4. Shows the Control Column (PE 35) and the Rudder Assembly (PE 36.) Fine wire may be used to simulate the various Control Cables. The Ammunition Box (PE 32) would be an aluminum colour the same as the Cowling Panels. The completed Seat Assembly (PE 31) may be added at this time. This is the time I would predrill all the rigging pilot holes in the Fuselage Halves (PP 1 & 2), Wings (PP15 & 16.)

Step 5. The Motor comes in either plastic (PP 9 & 10) or white metal (No #.) I prefer to replace the kit items with an Atlee/ Rosemont resin version of the Gnome Monosoupape 100hp rotary. The Gnome was license built by the Oberursel Company designated as their U.I. The resin version is highly detailed and is the best example I've found. Simply add fine wire to the front of its nine cylinders and paint in aluminum plate. After this dries thoroughly I use a mixture of Model Master Drab Earth and Flat Black in a wash shot through an Airbrush. This duplicates nicely the burned castor oil spray prevalent on rotary-engined aircraft of this time period. Keep some of this mixture for later use.

Step 6. Unites the Fuselage Halves (PP 1 & 2.) I added a sheet of plastic to simulate a fabric screen behind the Pilot's Seat (PP 31) and painted it accordingly. Depending on which version your doing will determine which Cowling Fairings (PP 5 & 6 or 7 &8) you apply. Thinning down the Fairings PP 5 & 6 at their lower edges will be needed. This set doubled as exhaust troughs and more will be discussed later. Do not add the Engine you have selected, yet. The Fuselage and Horizontal Flying surfaces can be painted at this time. Mask off the Cockpit and forward Cowling areas.

Steps 7 - 9. Deals with the building of the armament. You can choose either the German 1915 version of the Spandau Maxim LMG .08 or the Austro - Hungarian Schwarzlose M 7 / 12. The Breech / Receiver (PP26) is not correct as is for the profile of the Schwarzlose. Check your references. The Metal Tubule provided can be substituted for the plastic Machine Gun Barrel on PP 26. The Ammunition Feed Assembly (PE 24, 25 & 26) should be added after the Gun is attached to the Fuselage. Historically speaking, on the first few E.I types the early model Parabellum LMG .14 was employed.

Step 10. The Top Deck (PP 3) is too wide and needs to be blended to the Fuselage sides. Also a flexible file will help you maintain the curvature needed. I would add a section of plastic heat stretched sprue to the upper longerons of the side fairings where they meet the top decking. Then blend these to represent the slightly bulged areas not present on the basic kit. You should also cut two holes in the top deck (PP 3) next. One for the base of the Ammunition Feed Assembly (PE 24, 25 & 26) and the Empty Chute / Tube that should lead from the Pilot's left from the Receiver to the adjacent Top Deck (PP 3.) Check your references. Shoot some of the 'Castor Oil' wash over the face of the metal cowling that serves as the firewall add the Engine. Thin down the Engine Cowling (PP 13) interior leading edges. Now Paint its interior an aluminum colour then when dry shoot it with 'Castor Oil' wash. You will use the mixture one more time, so save some for later. Attach the Engine Cowling (PP 13) to the Fuselage and blend it to the contours needed by using a flexible file. Next dry fit the painted Wings (PP 15 & 16) to the Fuselage sides. I use two metal/ brass rods inserted through the Fuselage (forward of the cockpit details) to insure a stable attachment. The Propeller is left for later.

Steps 11 & 12. Next is the Landing Gear Assembly and attachment. Clean up the parts and remove any seams. Ignore the instruction to use a pin to hold parts (PP 19 & 20) together. Otherwise proceed as instructions dictate.

Steps 13 - 14. I recommend that you replace both the kit plastic Skid Struts (PP 25 X 2) and the metal versions (PE 10 & 11) with brass rod of appropriate diameter. Drill holes for their insertion into the rear Fuselage area. The Control Horns (PE 8 X 2 & PE 9) should be attached now.

Steps 15-16. Begin the rigging here using smoke or grey coloured monofilament and then using the 'Castor Oil' mixture shoot over the outside of the Metal Cowling surfaces and the adjacent pilot's left Wing. On the finest setting this should be done at an oblique angle from the propeller shaft across the Wing Surfaces (upper & lower.) This represents the exhaust flow due to the Propeller blast. This exhaust seeped into the fabric as it trailed back over both of the (pilot's left) Wing surfaces and the corresponding Fuselage areas. There was notably much less staining to the pilot's right side of the aircraft. The older the machine the more stains. Once the Propeller (PP 14) has be painted it can be added.

Fokker E.II vs the E.III:
In a recent correspondence with Mr. Dan-San Abbott he covered the differences in the types we're discussing. '...The Fok. E.II 2/15 was the first (German) designed fighter aircraft. It was delivered with a 14 square meter wing with a span of 8520mm and a fuselage length of 7200mm. The initial Fok. E.II types had the 80hp Oberursel U.0 engine with an empty weight of 338 kg. As soon as the new 100hp Oberursel U.I engines were available the production switched at Fok. E.II 20/15. With the 100hp Oberursel U.I the empty weight was increased to 370 kg. On the Fok. E.II types the ammunition container was outside the fuselage frame and was contained in the pilot's right, fuselage side fairing. The empty belt was stored in an aluminum box under the machine gun. The Wing area was increased to 16 square meters and the span increased to 9520mm on Fok. E.II 66/15 with the total empty weight now at 399 kg. (Yet the recognized prototype being Fok. E.III 54/15, with an overall height of 2400mm.) Commencing with Fok. E.I 58/15 the left side fairing was redesigned and all subsequent Fok. E. types had the simplified side fairings. The ammunition container was moved inside the fuselage on Fok. E.III 400/15 and the right side fairing was redesigned...'

A Basic Overview of The Padprinting Process

By: Charles E Arnold II

Submitted by: Mike McDanal

The basic padprinting process is simple enough in nature. This article will show how the padprinting process works and why it is especially suited for printing on irregular shaped object (a.k.a. substrate) as well as flat surfaces.

The key elements to the padprinting process are the pad, the cliché, and the ink. Each of these elements are explained in greater detail in subsequent articles also found on this site. Together, these three elements allow more flexibility in the types of products that can be printed using this process, than any other printing process.

The basic steps are as follows:

1) The cliché step – the image on the cliché is inked via doktor blade system or inkcup while the pad travels to the image.

2) The transfer step – the pad picks up the inked image from the cliché and travels to the substrate.

3) The print step – the pad makes contact with the substrate using just the right amount of pressure to deliver the image.

The Cliché

The desired image to print is etched into a plate called a cliché. The cliché is usually made of a polymer coating on a metal backing or of hardened steel. Once placed on the printer, the cliché is inked by either an open inkwell doktoring system or by a closed inkcup sliding across the image. The differences between cliché types and how to chose the right type is explained in greater detail in the article titled Selecting the Correct Cliché for your Padprinting Job by Julian Joffe. In this article you’ll also learn how the cliché controls how much ink is applied to the product.

The Ink

Padprinting inks are just as versatile as the other elements in the process. Not only are they available in every color imaginable, they also come in a variety of series that are specific to the type of substrate to be printed on. Different materials react differently to the various elements in inks. For example, the ink used for printing on certain plastics may not adhere to glass or aluminum. There are medical grade inks for use in the medical industry, as well as edible inks, which can be pad printed onto candies and other food products. As you’ll read in the article Understanding and Using Padprinting Inks by Peter Kiddell, final appearance and adhesion quality is dependent on other factors such as the viscosity and evaporation characteristics of the ink.

The Pad

After the cliché is inked, the silicon pad then picks up the image and transfers it to the product. The pads are made of a silicon material which can vary in durometer (hardness). The properties of the silicon allow the inks to temporarily tick to the pad, yet fully release from the pad when it comes into contact with the product to be printed. The durometer of the pad dictates how the image molds to the product. For example, to print an image on a basketball, a harder pad will get more of the image into the textured surface. Likewise, a larger image to be placed on a flat (or nearly flat) surface would normally require a substantial amount of down pressure to print the entire image with a hard pad. By using a softer durometer, the image can be placed using less pressure and thus avoiding some complications associated with too much pressure. For more information on the pad see the article titled Understanding the pad in padprinting by Peter Kiddell.

See the website http://www.padprint1.com/ for the articles referenced above.

MINUTES FOR JANUARY, 2003

Our President, Tom Deppe, called the January 8, 2003 meeting to order at 7:07 PM with 35 members and guests present.

CORRESPONDENCE:

Cliff Davis reported that Felix Jablonski had info on rooms that were available at Jefferson County for the club to use for contests or whatever else we may need. Cliff also had a model rocketry program.

TREASURY:

Dallas Lloyd was missing – no report.

OLD BUSINESS:

More info on the Alps printer – After talking to a number of repair places about the Alps printer, the usual answer was “good luck”. David talked to the company the bought Alps, and we could buy a refurbished unit from them for $350.00 – with no warranty or guarantees. Mike Mitchell, one of the guests for the night, knew of a tech network where we might be able to get some info on repairs. He will pass any info found info the Chuck Stout. Mark Persichetti suggested that if we couldn’t repair the unit easily, we might be better off just trying to sell the unit for parts. Gerry Cole mentioned that there was an Alps user group on Yahoo, and we might be able to find someone willing to look into repairing the printer. Issue tabled until next month until some of the leads established could be looked into.

Cliff Davis reported that he would have more info on the plaque for Jay Mack at next months meeting.

Cliff then asked Mark Persichetti if he had looked into the Paasche airbrush project and Mark responded that he had totally forgot about it and he will try to get the info next month.

NEW BUSINESS:

Don Gustavson reported that Darren out at Colpar West had been in a serious car accident and would probably be out of work for a while. Cliff Davis said he would send him a get well card in the clubs name.
