Bughunter Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Fokker D.VII I have not shown my latest project here. This Fokker D.VII was my contribution to the "Des Delatorre International Memorial Group Build". I used a Eduard weekend kit, Aviattic decals, LMGs by Master, Gaspatch turnbuckles and airspeed indicator, a self made wooden airscrew and some brass. Paints are Alclad, MRP, Gunze, Tamiya and oils for weathering. The Fokker don't reached the first places, but was awarded with a Roden kit and two sets of Pheon decals (Thanks to the sponsors). So let's start with a original Source: ttp://fighters.forumactif.com My interpretation: And some overall views: I hope you will like it!

Bughunter Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thank you all! Your feedback is highly appreciated. 16 hours ago, Andwil said: That is a fantastic model, faultless 👏 Faultless? I don't think any model is perfect. The builder knows the weak points. Here for example the struts, which I should have replaced with brass. At least the outer ones. Cheers, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cduckworth Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Frank Very nice work. Particularly the faded blue over the fuselage cross. Rib tapes are well done too. Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bughunter Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Thank you very much for putting this older build on top of the stack again! I still like the Fokker, but there are some problems with bending struts After that I build the Albatros W.4 and on this I luckily replaced the longer struts with brass. The next one will be a Dr.I, but NOT Fokker It will be a Albatros Dr.I Nice progress, but it was interrupted by a special build, which is finished now and I will show it soon. Stay tuned!

Viking Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That really is beautiful, I love the faintly visible lozenge fabric under the blue. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
