here r the pix of this project, roden’s Fokker D.VII OAW mid-pro
model done in a conjectural scheme…
control wires added between the fuselage & rudder/elevators
top wing markings & p/e seat harness (a p/e virgin no more !)
yes, it is marked as my personal D.VII !
the mercedes 160 hp inline engine again…
hope u enjoy the pix,
have a great weekend, folks !
It’s a pretty nice build there! Now, I hate to be a spoilsport and such, but it looks like the white has… well… not covered that well. It looks like it could have used a few more coats. Also on the bottom wing you seem to have gotten some paint bleed onto the lozenge decals. Other than that like I said nice build.
Great looking build there Frosty! You’re making it hard for me to resist trying some of those WWI aircraft. I just know they are so tiny but I guess they can’t be worse than those 1/72 me 163’s I’ve done. Thanks for the pics.
Tankmaster7:
thanx 4 ur comments …
the lozenge decals flaked off the edges of the lower wing,
i’ve touched those areas up w/ paint & it looks better now…
as 4 the white, the metal cowling panels were natural aluminium
when the a/c was delivered, but i had the ground crew paint
them white 2 cut down on reflection… (that’s my story & i’m sticking 2 it… [;)])
i will leave it as is 4 the ‘field-applied’ look, LOL…
Jeeves, trowlfazz, razordws, BLAKJAK, Mark Joyce, Bossman, & yardbird78:
thanx 2 u all 4 ur kind words & 4 checking out this build !
sorry i didn’t post my thanx earlier, been kinda busy l8ly… [:D]
Looks great, Frosty. I think you’ve captured that “field-applied” paint scheme very nicely. I’m gearing up to build my first model, a Pfalz D.IIIa. I just hope I can make my Pfalz look at least half as good as your Fokker [:D].
Sweet Fokker, Frosty. Now you have me poking through a box of Nitto 1/72 D-VIIs that someone gave me a few years ago and I haven’t touched since then … speculative paint job you say … hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm …
