Gary Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, Here is my Wingnut WIngs Fokker DVII as operated by the then-new Canadian Air Force in England, 1919. The giveaway on this build is the large green Canadian maple leaf on the fuselage, both sides. This came from Pheon Decals (Thanks again, Rowan!) The key finishing feature is the Aviattic four-colour lozenge decals, which worked very well (Thanks again, Richard!). As always, comments and suggestions are most welcome. Enjoy! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Tony and Jack, Thanks very much for your comments: much appreciated! I should have included this photo of the subject, taken in the spring of 1919. Canadian pilot Andrew McKeever, DSO, MC and Bar, stands by the left wing of 8493/18. He was the top scoring ace on Bristol Fighters, with 31 victories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 That is superb! For a bit of additional info, the aeroplane was based at Shoreham Airport at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaning dolphin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A great looking build and I like the twist, also that base just finishies it off nicely. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
