Here's 2 firsts… my first WNW build, and the first build I'm posting on this site. So go easy...
I found the WNW Fokker D.VIIF kit to be fantastic in terms of detail provided. The cockpit and interior was entertaining to put together, and I was thinking "This is the greatest model ever."
But…when I went to put it all together with the cowlings on, nothing fit well. Normally I use a lot of super-glue when building, but I think in this case it really messed up some tolerances. I ended up sanding down the outside of the framework, and I broke off a few bits that no one will notice
to get the interior to fit, and even then I resorted to Tenax and aggressive clamping to get the cowl and nose panels on. But it is done!
I plan on using Aviattic lozenge for the wings, so am trying to pre-shade after painting the wings white and then some buff/linen. From those of you who have done this before, in my photos do I have the right amount of pre-shading and the right base color to a) have some shading show up and b) not adversely affect the lozenge color? Do I need to tone down, or darken?
Thanks in advance-
Tom
