LSP_Ron Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Having built this kit twice now, I can honestly say your paint and weathering is second to none. Very well done Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hello, I need your help .... maybe somebody knows more about this plane from Ernst Udet.... I found in the internet several different pictures of this Fokker. Fuselage is red on the outsides and on top with the white stripes.... downsides some pictures with Lozenge, some pictures red. Wheels - sometimes red, sometimes with Lozenge Upper wing - top red / white stripes, downsides too - and some pictures downside with Lozenge Lower wing - upperside and downside Lozenge What do you think? Best regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Michael, Are any of those pictures dated? It would be logical to infer that the photos with lozenge were taken earlier than the ones with more red, so both would be appropriate. Or are you asking which we prefer? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi Tom, unfortunately no dates on the pictures..... and absolutly no idea.... I think I will make the upper wing top and downside in red/white, t he lower wing in Lozenge... like this: (http://maquetas.mforos.com/353333/7780012-arte-y-aviacion/?pag=14) BRMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Udet flew several Fokker DVIIs - at least three different ones. His 1st one was red fuselage, red/white striped top wing (some say black and white stripes), lower wing lozenge, the words "Du Doch Nicht!!" on elevators, Lo! on sides, Chevron on top and bottom of horizontal tail surfaces: example: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=47909&hl= He flew a second one that was lozenge overall with just Lo! on the sides and I think the standard Jasta 4 markings His third one was a Fokker DVIIF with lozenge top and bottom wings, red fuselage and Lo! on the fuse sides. May have been more but those were the main examples where photos exist. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hello at all... let's start the painting At first I have masked the cockpit, engine and all parts which were already finished and painted. Then I have preshaded all the seams on the wings and on the bottom of the fuselage with a pencil before airbrushing everything in matt white. After some time for drying I have masked the white stripes on the upper wing and on the top of the fuselage. The upper wing is masked on top and down side exactly... as if the stripes will go around the wing. The red painting followed on everything..... After a short period for drying I quickly removed the maks already. Luckily everything worked fine! Then I added the decals on the fuselage and the crosses on the top wing (these are still wet and full of softener on the pictures). Now have a look..... I fell in love with the small beauty.....

elmarriachi Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 The propeller was painted in beige, before masking the different layers of wood. Then painted everything in dark brown and removed the masks.... after drying adding a layer of clear orange. Then painted the propeller with oil color burned umbra completely and left it dry for about an hour, before wiping the oil color away in the direction of the grain.... The next steps are the Lozenge decals on the lower wing, then matt clear coat on everything, painting the details on the fuselage and the wheels.... then washings on everything and olderings....
