petrov27 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'll probably order the White Stripes version, haha. Is it my imagination, or are none of the VIIs configured for Herman Goering? Is he just too toxic? Pheon has his a/c (not much aside from crosses and data) on their decal offering 32047 mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 None of the DVIIs are configured for Fattys A/C. Some simple mods would bring it to spec, but why? There are so many other colorful examples to model. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hmm, I got the Pheon sheet specifically for Goering's DVIIF mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 While WNW has focused on some colorful aircraft, they have also been good about making sure important fliers like Immelmann get their due. I think Goering is just too radioactive. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Goering is just too radioactive. Since his WWI experiences have nothing to do with his later involvement in WWII, I doubt that's the reason, Bill. I suspect it's just a matter of using more visually interesting schemes, at least to me anyway. Bill Cross and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Since his WWI experiences have nothing to do with his later involvement in WWII... He was widely disliked by his fellow pilots for his pompous, inept behavior during WWI, too. D Bill Cross, LSP_K2 and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 He was widely disliked by his fellow pilots for his pompous, inept behavior during WWI, too. D With 22 kills, Blue Max award, and command of JG1, he couldn't have been too inept back them. Bill Cross and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well, there is some evidence that his relationship with Loerzer was a direct link to his getting the Blue max. He was not a well liked pilot, and apparently only mildly respected. Pheon does make a sheet for fattys plane, which would pretty much just be the serials, since his plane was devoid of any other markings. I suppose one could apply a thin coat of white that might allow some of the lozenge to show thru; that might break it up a bit. I have the pheon sheet, but am going to do "Mimmi", which is to me a much more attractive scheme.

nichenson Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) There is also the WnW decals for a different Goring F. They even include the black striping. Looks more like a jail outfit so maybe more fitting. Edited February 28, 2017 by nichenson D Bellis, mpk, Bill Cross and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't wait for them to release this new boxing. I've been wanting a D.VII since I got back into the hobby and first heard about WnW last year. What with the B-25 I just started, Revell's promised P-51 and this D-VII, it's only February and my 2017 dance card is already about full.

Troy Molitor Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Same here Adam. I was mildly entertained by the early WNW releases to be honest. Then those little Fokkers started hitting this site with a vengeance and man there were so many awesome builds here on LSP. The type simply sold out in no time it seemed. Here we go for round two. I'm in I must admit. Bring them on again. Troy mpk and AdamR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D.VII series is just outstanding. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
