Viking Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Absolutely brilliant, hard to believe they are 1/72, they are as near perfect as a model can be. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Beautifully done! I have built 2 of Roden's 1/48 Fokker D.VII and the plastic was great with only the decals being a problem. It is possible the same is true for 1/72 so they might be salvaged with aftermarket but I assume you need aftermarket decals for these build anyway as they are quite unique. Best of luck and I am looking forward to your next installment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also built a Fokker D.VII from Roden in 1/48 (Degelov), as well as started with the 1/72 kits and gave up for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 1/72? They look more like the large scale Wingnut Wings models. Very nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Very nicely done and it's great to see something different from the WW1 markings. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Beautiful bipes, all of them, with almost unbelievable detail for a 1:72nd model! Is that some sort of 'fabric weave' visible on the lozenge decals? If so, the decal maker must be remarkably ill informed, since even if you keep your nose inches away from a doped fabric covered 'scale 1:1' surface will you see any weave pattern… 😉 Marvellous modelling, though! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim You are right it is the so. I saw a 1: 1 lozenge at the Berliner Technik Museum, something was visible there.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303sqn Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Any idea what the Bi Ba Bo character is? I have been trying to find out for years. Someone told me he was the Polish 'Homer Simpson' but the Bi Ba Bo cabarets seem to have been a Russian Empire thing, not just Łódź. The name can still be found in Russia and the Baltic states, - picture houses, ten pin bowling alleys, night clubs. There was a company in Moscow that sold Bi Ba Bo glove puppets for children but the website is not there now. The Bi Ba Bo character was a white bear but I have seen photographs of Bi Ba Bo casts which have a woman in a white dress and and red cloak. I need a historian who is an expert on the history of Łódź. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a historian who is an expert on the history of Łódź. Poland was from 24.X.1795 to Oktober 1918 Poland was divaidet betwen Russian Empire, Prussia and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Adam Haber-Wlynski lived in the Russian Ocupated Part of Poland and got pilot licence 1910 in France by Farman, after that he flouw on air shows in Russia and worked as company test pilot for DUX in Moscow. So he knowed the "Bi Ba Bo" puppets, cabarets, etc. and this figure on his plane resultated from. Most of Polish pilots in Great War served in Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire, only few in Prussia/Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
