Jasta 14 addict Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Genius move by WNW to have the LVG boxed with the Camel. I also bought it for the LVG. I'm glad i'm not alone Dean On the other hand, i'm sure there are lot's of people feeling the same way. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Danny, Just found your build thread, and I'm going to be coming along for the ride. While I've never been bitten by the WW1 bug as yet, I'm more then intrigued by twin boom aircraft that look like a rigging jigsaw puzzle. Not to mention the delicacies needed to mount and align that top wing. So I'm pulling up my chair, and enjoying the ride. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i already build the Re.8 "Harry Tate" which was also a real challenge regarding the wing joint's and alignment. I think the Fee, will be the same playground. Hopefully all go's well.

Jasta 14 addict Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi folk's, time to get started on this wooden wonder. Today i added two new colors to my woodgrain color chart. Those are the two at the right side. Reason for this : i wasn't happy with the colors i had, so i made two new ones based on a yellow base coat. For the base coat i used Tamiya XF-3 and regarding the oil colors i used Raw Umber and Burnt Umber. First thing to do, a black primer coat to the part's. Second, the part's that needed the woodgrain color where first painted in XF-3 Yellow. The gondola insides where all painted in their colors. Paint's used are : XF-3 Yellow, X-32 Titanium Silver and Mr. Paint clear doped linnen. Also, fuel tank, pilot's seat and some details where painted with X-32 Titanium Silver. For the woodgrain i used the same technique as i did with my two previous WNW build's. I choosed the XF-3 + Burnt Umber combination. With this technique there are many color variations that can be achieved, just by the use of more or less clean brushes. Here you can see two different woodgrain textures with the same paint. Gondola And some other part's Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Danny, I've still never attempted WNW kit or any bi-plane for that matter, but you guys are really making me want to give it a "go". Your wood graining really looks easy enough for a newbie, and the results are simply fantastic looking. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
