Ed Russell Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have never done anything with such a large proportion of its surface covered by decals. It's mostly done. The lozenge decals look quite impressive en-masse but the rib tapes are a bit oversize I think but I'm not going to cut them in half! [/url] 40+ degrees is a bit warm for modelling but I have been proceeding slowly since we came back from beach holidays. More to follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 The decal application is finally finished and we can get on with final assembly. Multiple sources tell me that the interplane struts are quite difficult - there is some disparity in lengths between them. we shall see...... It is pretty well finished apart from the final assembly, wheels and propeller. I have made a tail skid, repaired the missing manifold tube and touched up most of the decals and painting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Final assembly is well underway. I was prepared for the struts not to fit and made up some red-painted strut material to replace them with. I only needed a couple though. All it needs now are the final details. I might make up a little base to display it on and put it in RFI sometime next week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have to update this old but unfinished thread. The Fokker D.VII was finished in early 2018 but a recent post by someone more knowledgeable than me about WWI and Fokkers indicated the radiator was on upside down! I have fixed this (picture attached) and I will do a RFI - sometime next week above has turned out to be sometime next decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
