Bear Paw Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I have built a lot of the Roden and Revell 7's. One is lumpy and one is a bit skimpy with very thin decals. I have a lot of decals left over for this little Fokker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Fresh news - Source: https://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/InfoEduard/archive/2017/info-eduard-2017-01EN.pdf Quote There are also another two 1/72 kits in progress. These are the Fokker D.VII and the MiG-21MF. Both are almost complete in the design stages. Their release depends on the capacity and practical efficiency of our tool shop after the planned innovations. I suspect that there is chance of releasing at least one of them during this year. V.P.

Matave Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I built the old, but nice, Revell one but inserted a surplus engine from a Roden D VII. Now I'm searching for a branch pipe that fits the engine... Edited December 7, 2018 by Matave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Wasn't this supposed to be part of Eduard's '72nd scale revolution'? I think they have released only the Mig-21 since that announcement in 72nd scale. Not much of a revolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Source: https://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/InfoEduard/archive/2019/info-eduard-2019-01en.pdf Quote (...) In principle, this will be a scaled down version of the 48th scale kit, but it will be modified to the point where the older and larger version will be mostly unidentifiable. As with our recent releases, we put quite a bit of effort into simplifying construction of this kit, and I think that fans of this scale will be satisfied along those lines as well. The entire line of Fokker D.VIIs will feature revised lozenge patterns which will reflect the most recent research surrounding this mysterious item. The line of D.VIIs will open with the Fokker D.VII OAW, which I consider to be the most striking of all these aircraft. As with the 48th scale version of the model, most of these 72nd scale kits, except for the Austro-Hungarian MAG, will have two versions of the fuselage and in the case of the OAW, these will be the two last production versions. There is a third version of the OAW being planned as well, allowing the option of building Ernst Udet’s famous red/white aircraft. As noted and to the contrary, the MAG version will offer just the one fuselage type, as there was just the one, but this kit will offer the relevant differences in the radiator and prop, including the popular four bladed type. The MAG will come out in October, it will be available at E-day, and it will also be released as a Limited Edition kit similar to the 48th scale item. (...)

GrzeM Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 9 hours ago, Procopius said: Time to order some of the Techmod Polish D.VII decals, I think! It is better wait for update. These decals are a bit old and some of these schemes have been better researched lately. It is like with other old planes - "traditional" schemes were based on few and rather poor quality photos, and while their designers did their job carefuly and decently, they had no access to many important photographs which emerged from the old family albums only lately thanks to the Internet fora and auctions. Example: the white-and-red chevron on the Fokker D.VII atributed to Stefan Bastyr was in fact white-and-black and it is clearly visible on the photos printed in the new book about 15th Eskadra (BTW, this Fokker was not Bastyr's, which is confirmed by documents). Also the "white hand" marking is in fact not hand, but fancy JH tied together - initials of the pilot, Józef Hendricks.

sroubos Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Great to see some progress on this. I'll definitely get the Royal Class boxing. It would be nice if Eduard could include some non-German decals, there is so much available already and the lozenges are a real headache. Can I suggest a Dutch version?
