Title: Fokker D.VI// Eduard//1:48//AD 1995
Post by: KrzysiekK on May 02, 2017, 08:44:15 PM: Hello,

As promised started new old kit, rough plastic sprues and nice PE attached. Manufactured in 1995.
Now I am focused on the cockpit interior, which is a mixture of Dr.1 and D.VII/VIII, but main resemblance goes from the latter ones..
As I got inbox pics on the other hand forgot to do pics before fuselage closure :( Ones can barely see the interior lozenge and modified compass & magneto (oversized resin part from Eduard)

BTW the kit is rough. Adjusting the crate into the fuselage half requires some pre-work in finding fixed position

I have left fuselage for a while and get the wings parts on the desk. All of them were cut off sprues, sanded and brushed with primer. As decided to use Aviattic decals, used some pigments to express some depth and more 3D turnout. Last step was implementation of varnish layer.

Once received the decals from Aviattic, started to wrap the wings parts. As you see on pics on prework with shading disappeared:(. I do not bother as still can do some post shading once I decide it is good for this model:)

Keep on doing then
the wings are ready for the assembly. The more then 20 years old decals were rather less problematic in application then expected. Just few brush recovery must be done. Then the final clear varnish layer

(http://rebe83.waw.pl/pub/krzysiek/warsztat/F.DVI/FDVI_40.JPG)
now the fuselage. I have decided to do the white stripes by paint as decals were rather too thick

Recently I had not much time to show any progress in that thread but inevitably some small steps further has been done.
The U.II from small stuff it is really great stuff to improve the final outcome
BTW. those tiny little things on the top of cylinder was a “real” task ;D But finally I can be proud of myself not to loose any of those during assembly

Yes, on this type its a bit tight, I built two of this type (5 at all).
Do you have sources about a brass intake pipes? Until know I know only copper for the curved ones (part 6) or steel for the later straight ones (part 7).
Examples are the Richthofen Dr.I for copper (engine in London) or E.V/D.VIII engines with steel pipes in some museum.

Cheers,
Frank

Post by: xmald on June 29, 2017, 06:24:13 PM: The engine looks great but I agree with Frank about the intake pipes - they should definitely be copper, not brass.
I think you`re building another marvellous model Krzysiek! Keep up the good work.

I got from life couple of hours for Fokker, so had not hesitated at all and did what should had been done weeks ago. Finally you can see biplane…upside down as the glue is still fresh. Frankly I was afraid of not keeping her tight but there she is ;D
