Fokker D.VII (early) 1:72, MAC Distribution


Recommended Posts

Well, I've finally managed to get this one done.
It's not one of my best efforts: the fuselage decals fought me hard, but I've learnt from it...I hope! She's good enough to go in the cabinet though....ironically right underneath Frank Luke's SPAD XIII - Georg von Hantelmann's 16th victory was Joseph Wehner, Luke's wing-man!
Jasta 15 must have been unlucky in some way - Rudolph Berthold survived only to be strangled with his "Pour le Merit" by a mob in 1920, and von Hantelmann was murdered in 1924 by poachers he caught on his land...so sad to have survived the carnage only to be murdered a few years later...

The Aviattic decals are great, but I did have a little trouble with them lifting at the edges - probably my application rather than the decals though. Engine and MG's are Roden items, and all wing and tail struts were replaced with .020" plastic rod.
Anyway, here she is....
