Epeeman Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Afternoon all - Just posting some pictures of a couple of models I completed earlier this year. I've only now decided to post these up as I originally did not consider them my best work and I had lost a bit of my mojo which only now starting to return. These are the Eduard Sopwith Camel (weekend Edition) with some decals used from a previous build: Roden Fokker DVII Both together I really am going through a clumsy phase at present - as soon as I finished taking these pictures, I manage to drop the DVII smashing it to bits ............ Annoyed I am! Appreciate any constructive comments Regards Dave 15 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 A brilliant couple! I hope you will repair the D.VII. It happened to me, too, and I always break the most difficult parts. I think I'm the clumsiness in person... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Beautiful work 👍 ... Sorry to hear about the Fokker’s crash. Could you possibly turn bad into good ? You could do a Vignette showing a crashed Fokker ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'd be delighted if my stuff turned out like that..............fantastic, especially the Camel. I for one am glad you decided to post 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Superb pair of biplanes! I hope that you can save at least the Fokker propeller with its beautiful laminated wood finish. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad57 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Dave, What a lovely pair of kites my old friend. Sad to read of the Fokker demise though. Any chance of rebuilding her? Highest Regards, Gregory Jouette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Beautiful work but sorry to hear the Fokker had a major mishap. Is it salvageable? I have the 1/72 version of the Roden D.VII but I'm slightly apprehensive of it as I've heard it's an absolutely blighter to put together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thank you all kindly, gentleman. Unfortunately, the model broke beyond being salvageable. In any case, I'm not got with diorama work anyway .......... 12 hours ago, Smithy said: Beautiful work but sorry to hear the Fokker had a major mishap. Is it salvageable?

Hello Smithy, It can be a bit tricky (I have built the roden dvii in this scale) but is certainly not impossible. The major problem is that the lower wing does not fit with the fuselage. I overcame this by cutting lower wing in half the using a section of plastic to fill the gap then filler to tidy it all up. This little kit looks good when complete.

Smithy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Many thanks for the tip Dave, I think that might come in very handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 They are a super pair (or were sadly). Top notch models Dave, you should not be so hesitant to show them. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
