Zarichta Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Hi there; Here is my latest kit build. It is my first 1:32 scale Wingnuts. I spent 6 months working in this project. Amazing kit!! Here are some pictures of the finished model. Cheers! Edited December 17, 2015 by Zarichta 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Very nice! Superb work! How did you get the rough, rusted look on the exhaust pipe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 A lovely well finished model, Im a big WW fan myself , Have you tried painting over the rad grill with very thin matt black ,still allowing the white to show through?. That would really bring it out, making sure the white is fully cured first !. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jckspratt1 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Spectacular. I've got 6 WNW kits sitting here, but can't free up the time to make a decent start on one. It's pretty apparent how you poured 6 months into this - it's wonderful - but it was time well spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Lovely! One of my favourite ever kits. I like the overall lozenge scheme, I'll have to do one now I've seen how good it looks on yours. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarichta Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thank you guys!! First, it is my first post here. I'm from Brazil and sorry for any mistake in English here. Kuro; I painted the exhaust pipe with the XF79 mixing iron oxid. Applied by brush. Very very easy. Don; I'm a fan too. The models are amazing! About the rad grill, good tip! Thanks! As my first 1/32 WWI model, I'll definitely try this tip in the next model. Thank you Bigglesof266!! Really thanks Jckspratt1! I spent about 1 and 2 hours daily working in it. I agree and confirm: it was time well spent! John, thanks. The decal are amazing. Easy easy application. It just use water.

Epeeman Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 You've done a grande job on this model - I've built one of these WNW Fok DVII in the past so know this is not the easiest of Wingnut's kits to get together, I had experienced some problems in the nose area with both the chin and side cowling panels. How did you get on in this area? Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get on in this area? Regards Dave Hello Dave, thank you!! Yes, I had some small problems with these panels. Before the white paint, I adjusted the side panels with nail file. The upper panels had more problems, but the version Nichten don't need them. I got lucky with this version. Another little part complicated is the landing gear. It is little stiff. But it was a great learning experience! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 This sort of build is how I will measure my skills as I progress through this hobby and when I can build a Wingnuts model to that standard I will know I have reached one of y waypoints. Very good indeed and as ever amazed at the finished model. well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
