NGBZ Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII (Alb) converted to an OAW built plane 1.D.357 which flew as part of the Finnish Airforce with Ilmailuosasto 1, Utti airfield, November 1923. Decals are from AML while the skis are scratchbuilt along with the new panel where the guns are normally fitted.. Brass tipped prop is from the spares box with a new screen fashioned from acrylic sheet, radiator grill from RB Productions and the plane was painted with acrylics and weathered with oils and enamels.

dutik Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Very nice one Wasn't aware it was unarmed. Good research! Which colors did you use? Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGBZ Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks dutik. I went with the recommended F.S. colours that were on the AML sheet. 35045, 24098, 35526 and 10032 - matching them as best I could to the Mr Hobby/Tamiya range.

Well, I've tried this before (have the decal set in my stash), but this went nowhere. The paint manufacturers have very different ideas about one and the same F.S. number. Same F.S. number made by different brands look like totally different colors. Do you remember which Tamiya and Mr.Hobby colors you have used? The blue might be XF-23 light blue, the brown XF-79 (linoleum deck brown), but I have no clue about the green and the dark blue.

BiggTim Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 That's cool, and different. I like it a lot! Well done! TIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I love this one. What a lot of work that must have been to convert the gear, which is very convincing. And that is a spectacular and different colour scheme! Thanks for sharing! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Excellent work! A beautiful and unusual subject, and you rally brought it to life. I would just suggest changing the title to D.VII. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 These colors are much more pale than some illustrations suggest and I think you have done them perfectly well. This lighter coloring would fit in well over a snow covered but thawing landscape. Just amazing work. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
