Hi Wolf , Your work on the engine is awesome .As for the valve spring stems ! they are there on the real one .They should not be cut on the top ! Just letting you know . Willi

Thanks for every ones kind remarks ,It`s very much Appreciated ! Yes Kevin you can publish my photo`s . Many Thanks , Willi

Andrew, Simply Awesome ! It`s another WNW kit for me to add to the too buy list! Willi

Here`s part TWO:

Here`s my first WNW kit . The kit went together very well with no real problems . The decals where easy to place in position . I`ll probably buy many more of the Fokker family . I hope you enjoy the photo`s , Willi

Thanks Tom and Kevin , Andrew I think the kit you have has the most colorful Fokker DVII the OAW kit is my favorite ! Ron the tail rigging took me the longest to do . I hope you have it squared away ! Peter this is the end of the road for this build I hope everyone enjoyed this build as I did .I learned a lot about WNW kits wish I would have started years ago with these kits .I`m hooked on these kits the fit of parts are awesome and build into museum quality models . The photo`s will be I the RFI . Many thanks to all who posted their comments, Willi

Thanks ringleheim, Today I am putting on the struts and once the glue is dry all left is putting on the top wing. The guns and telescopic gun site are in place. I just have some touching up with paint then this bird should be done . I`m not going to weather it much I like it as if it was just finished with a new paint job . Update is coming very soon ! Willi

Hi Tomek, It`s My new favorate model! I ogle at it every day:). Should have the yellow bird done over the weekend . Today`s update: I used the PE set from WNW`s to do the gun barrels. The telescopic gun site was drilled out and a clear plastic dicks were set in place , I also redid the rigging on the landing struts. I used PE turnbuckles since that`s all I had at the moment. Thanks , Willi

Thanks Peter, I`m hoping to wrap this bird up this weekend also. I`m just going over everything carefully and doing touchups as I go . Thanks JRutman and Mark, Your comments are much appreciated Willi

Thanks Ron , I have watched both of your builds .Both look awesome ! I think it would be cool if all Fokker DVII`s built on this forum could have their own post .There are quite a few different Fokkers being built right now . Everyone who finishes a Fokker DVII can post the photo`s there .That way everyone can view all the A/C in one place . Willi

Hi Paul, There`s not much rigging on the DVII which makes it kind of easy . I like building colorful A/C so there`s going to be a few more Fokkers in my WW1 collecton. Willi

Since you are working on the engine Here`s A link I used . www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519353 Willi

I `d say bottom right, Remember the top wing is giving an shadow effect . The back of the gun chute should be the color to look at . It looks like this engine does not have the covers . If it is the Mercedes DIIIau heres the link I used for my engine . www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519353

I`m not sure black . Most Fokker DVII had the top decking Fokker green . It`s a shade lighter then RLM 82 dark green . That`s my two cents

Hi Wolf, Looking very nice, Great Ideas For attaching the Taurus parts. I like the clamps you made ,I noticed they were missing after I had My engine already painted so that`s a detail I didn't add. .The more FokkerDVII`s built here and all the details everyone does the better they get ! Keep posting your Ideas ,I`ll be watching . Willi

Hi Wolf, Thanks , I was thinking the same It just screams out SHOOT AT ME , it must have taken some time to paint this scheme . Willi

Thanks Ron ,O.K . Peter and Tom I`ll keep it coming ,but it`s getting close to being done ! So Far I have had fun with this kit .I really haven`t found many pitfalls . Just be careful with fitting the engine. The landing gear went on without any problems. So here she is on her landing struts . More to come soon ! Willi

Your figure looks very nice , I just cant get the shadow effect and skin tones right. I usually do the base colors then my friend does his magic to bring the figures to life .

Hi Peter, I know what you mean , I have a friend that paints my figures ,I just cant get the hang of it ! Willi

Peter Update please .

Thanks Kev, Peter and Tom , Peter I like your build ! Nothing wrong with it . Well last night I spent time doing the finishing touches to the engine before the covers go on . I just use white glue to hold the pieces in place just incase I decide to remove them in the future . That's all for today Thanks for stopping by! Willi

Wow Nice ! the Fokker`s look awesome

Here are the photo`s from yesterday`s work done . I still have to connect the fuel lines to the gold filter , connect the throttle to the carb., make the two supports for the radiator . Most will be covered . Here`s the detail I missed on the bottom of the wing , Engine detail More to come soon, Willi

I`m hoping for the Polish markings , the cuppi doll Fokker DVII

Thanks Tom , I missed that one . I was wondering why they gave two of those decals Thanks again ! Today I mounted the engine and radiator . I think that was the hardest part I had so far . It is important to dry fit a few times before gluing . I started with tack gluing the back of the engine supports first . Then dry fit the radiator until you get a good joint on the bottom of the chin cowl. There are two supports missing that hold the radiator in place . One on each side ,I still have to make those parts but you can see them in the picture on page 27 same one Tom was talking about. Thanks Willi
