Title: Junkers D.I WnW 1/32
Post by: xmald on July 19, 2018, 08:06:30 PM
Hello,
So it happens that it`s the first WnW kit on my bench. I`m also going to build Bristol Fighter WnW with Aviattic decals simultaneously with this one.
What can I say - it's simply awesome!! Love every second of the time I spent building it so far.
The box picture is by Artro modelling (too lazy to take one on my own).

Welcome to WNW modeling! They are brilliant. Your interpretation is also looking brilliant!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Everything is so huge in comparison to 1/32nd.
I bought some Mercedes engine goodies from TaurusModels - they`re stunning.

That is really a nice praise of the WNW kit.
Your result is fantastic and the pictures are also very good!

Have fun,
Frank

   That cockpit is as good or better then any I've seen here Filip, extraordinary detail and so very "clean". My compliments on some really great work, this is going to be a real show stopper!

Outstanding modelling! The WnW Junkers D.1 is next on my to do list after I finish the Clerget Camel and your build is such a powerful motivation for me.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Many thanks!
The perspective of painting and putting decals on all these corrugated surfaces is giving me shivers.
This is what I`ve managed to do so far. The Mercedes engine still requires some touch ups. The TaurusModels add-ons are simply superb!

Filip,
   The quality of work on the engine is even better then that on the cockpit earlier, truly exceptional! It's a real pleasure and inspirational to follow your work on this one, superb all round!
Cheers,
Lance

Engine's a stunner.  I would guess you are going to keep those engine spaces open to show of the handiwork.  Cockpit is equally good.  I have this kit in the stash and will be following your build for ideas and just to see the model unfold.  It's a neat looking airplane and looking forward to seeing you progress.

Many thanks Mark!
My Junkers has been painted and slightly weathered (more to come). Making decals to lay down in the corrugations was a test of my patience... I have painted the two colour camo for the first time.

Outstanding work, Filip! The tail looks so great, I like how you managed the shading of the rafters and the light aluminum shine through the black.

Excellent, Filip. As usual from your bench. And you know, you will now be haunted by WNW kits. It is one-way-street, my friend!

Thanks for your extremely kind words!
The model is almost done. I`ve fixed the engine and the exhaust. I`ve also carved the propeller. I`ve used the Proper Plane hubs and I must admit they are great products!

Very nice Filip, you're almost there!
Great job on the prop and I see what you mean by the hub, it really adds to the effect. You've done a very impressive job on this Kit, I'll be watching for the completion!
Cheers,
Lance

Remarkable Filip
Every time I see a build of the D.I I'm more tempted by it - your brilliant work my get me to push the button!
