topper71 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Hi everybody, I had recently started the FOKKER DXXI with motor Wasp conversion, I will leave unanswered time because the conversion give me not satisfaction for the moment ... As I had a second kit "silver wings" I have decided to built the Mercury engine version, I acquired a vector engine. This is not necessarily simpler because the chosen model also presents the famous "slots" on the wings. I see in many monography and this is the result, in certain monographs which I am inspired me as rather straight on my model but in others they are more inclined I can not change it despite the reviews I may have, Also I have started the work with the front of fuselage I have crafted air cooler, and I cut the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit . I choosen the FR 92 with his "donkey" on the front. the model the wings the fuselage air cooler the front the decals regards topper71 Zero77, Alburymodeler, dutik and 3 others 6
jeroenpeters Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Nice! I built the dutch version. Great kit.

ClumsyDude Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Looks good Topper, I like the cowling in particular. Jim
topper71 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Hi at all, I engraved the wings here is the result. I have a small problem I have a few holes on the front of the wings , I applied the " Surfacer ", if you have another little trick I am listening to you. Regards topper71 Zero77 1
Alburymodeler Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Your slots seem to be in the same position top and bottom?
Iain Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Lovely work Topper - I love the D.XXI - should look good in Finnish markings... Have you seen Jeroen's build - if not it's really worth a look/great inspiration! Iain
topper71 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Hi, Alburymodeler, Iain (32SIG) yes,the slots crossed the wing and was used to avoid stalling the airplane and yes the built from Jeroen is very nice I hope that will be so nice in the finnish version regards topper71 Iain 1
topper71 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Hi guys finally I continue my progress from my Fokker D 21, I made this week different lamps ones at the wing and there on the front of the wing, I also re-engraved the wings because the slots locations were false and were be more obliquely, Here pics regards topper71 Zero77, mywifehatesmodels, tucohoward and 1 other 4
Alburymodeler Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Yes, the slots would be a different position top and bottom . Otherwise they are just holes with no aerodynamic benefit.
mywifehatesmodels Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Looking great and I like the additional details. John
