well its done except for rigging in 2 places and dullcoat touchup in a couple places, but here it is,Revell’s 1/72 Fokker DVII in Rudolph Berthold’s colorful markings
it’s on one of my bases made from a sour cream lid and paper plates. sawdust is the grass.
the “wonderful” splinter camo… not very fun painting that on
looks good m1
For being done in 72nd, it turned out very well M1!! I beat you had a blast working w/ all those small parts right?? LOL
Flaps up, Mike
Made a nice job of that Fokker! [:D]
Thanks all!!
weren’t too many small parts actually, the biggest pain was scratchbuilding the cockpit. (rudder pedals, control stick, seat and harness) the most time consuming was handpainting the lozenge camo.
Great lookin fokker there chris!
Good looking build, but the pics are a little underexposed. If you hand painted the Lozenge camo, you did a real nice job on it. Thanks for sharing, keep em coming.
Thats great stuff!
I never had much luck with WWI subject matter, so I admire anyone who can get them old bi planes and tri planes done up well.
thanks!! yep, that lozenge is all handpainted… about 10-12 hours on that.
looking good.

Nice Chris!! You know they make decals of the lozenge right??
Great job on such a small thing.
Increadible! I’ll be starting on a 1/72 Roden Fokker D.7 after I finish the Martin MB-2 bomber (1/74 scale from Glencoe). I bought the Part photoetch set for that kit, so I won’t have to scratchbuild the interior details, but I’ll have to learn how to use PE instead. [%-)]
Anyway, great looking bird you have there.
Regards,
thanks, courtney [|)] … actually the revell kit had decals, but they were white with black lines, so i used those as a guide.
I must say I really like that bird, and I think I’ll probably start modeling 1/72 WW1 a/c a lot.
Yeah they make a lot of different lozenge patterns as decals. I’ve got a couple little birds tucked away, a gladiator and a spad
Great job! I wish I could work that well in 1/72. Love the colour scheme too.
Darren.
VERY nicely done, Chris ! Superb job on the lozenge ! I’d be intimidated trying to paint that in 1/28 ! Well done. Keep up the good work !
(Are you going to change your username to “Biplanes Rule” ?)
nope, I’m just expanding my modeling subjects. I now will be doing 1/72 and 1/35 armor, and 1/72 WWI planes. I don’t know why, but I have a fascination for WWI fighters…
Excellent job on the Fokker Chris, and an even more outstanding job on the lozenge painting!
Dan
Amazing! hand painted lozenge camo.
