miamiangler Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 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 Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That engine is fantastic, but I'm also admiring how details like the louvers pop out. I'm with Peter: bring it on! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited February 19, 2013 by miamiangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Bedazzling Willi, it really couldn't get more colourful than that. I can't imagine the amount of work it must have been to apply and then maintain the colour scheme on this plane, not to mention the additional weight added to the airframe. It does look beautiful though and so does your model! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Willi, I think that's got to be the coolest paint job I've seen on a WWI fighter, it reminds me of an air show or barnstormer scheme aircraft, but it's obvious that this guy was "in the mood" to try his luck in the air with other "tricks" Looking forward to more rigging etc.. Keep up the Excellent work! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I am very familiar with this kit now that I've built two. The decaling and overall finish you've done is simply brilliant Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Willi Looking simply fantastic sitting on her gear. We're up to the same portion of the build now, so keep me posted on the wing and fuselage strut assembly, as it's what I'm hoping to do this weekend. Keep 'em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the Excellent work! Paul 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decaling and overall finish you've done is simply brilliant Ron 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
