Hi all,
In memory of 'Des', I thought I'd like to attempt a double build, consisting two Fokker D.VII aircraft and two figures.
A complete 'skinned' Fokker D.VII - Wingnut Wings Kit No:32027.
A 3D printed 'Aviattic' 'Skeletal' Fokker D.VII from 'ShapeWays'.
Anthony Fokker figure from 'Aviattic'.
Photographer figure from 'BlackDog Models'.

Hi all,
The cockpit side frame tops with 'Aviattic' lozenge applied - tricky to apply but I think worth it,

Hi all,
The first cockpit is nearing completion.
I still have to fit the instrument panel, compass, tachometer, shoulder harness and engine bearer frames.
Also finish rigging the various control lines and the hand throttle and gun trigger cables,

Beautiful work on that cockpit, Mike - your rigging is phenomenal! Regards, Marc

Hi all,
The first Fokker D.VII cockpit is complete now and fitted into the fuselage.
I've added detail, such as instrument cables, grease pump and fuel pressurization pump pipes, under floor cross bracing, engine control rods etc.
I still have to finish it by adding the pilots shoulder harness, which will be attached to the seat mounting frame through the additional linen 'wind break' behind the pilots head,

Great looking progress, outstanding work on this fiddly area.

Very nice detailing!

Hi all,
The additional linen baffle (wind break) that was fitted to some Fokker aircraft is done.
The shoulder straps passed through slots is this baffle and down to be attached to the cross bar of the seat frame bulkhead, which had at the top the standard linen baffle.
The coloured shot below is from the Canadian restoration of a war prize Fokker D.VII. It was comprised of parts from different Fokker D.VII aircraft, including OAW built Serial No:6506/18, 8318/18 and 8502/18 and was partially restored in 1963.
The B/W shot is of a similar baffle fitted to a Fokker DR.1.

Hi all,
Now that the fuselage is buttoned up I've moved onto the engine.
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/fusseam.jpg)
As usual not an OOB build. Modifications will be (I hope).
Complete timing gear
Fuel priming cups
Spark plugs (late type)
Intake manifold nuts
Ignition leads
Engine control
Coolant pipes
Engine sump apertures
Oil sight glass.
First off is the removal of the coolant pipe for the cylinder jackets, which is pre-molded in between each cylinder.
Also the conical vale springs.
Mike
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/cylinderhead.jpg)
-
Hi all,
The cooling of the engine cylinders was carried out by cooled water from the radiator being fed by pipes to the water pump, located on the bottom, rear of the sump.
This water was pumped through an outlet pipe and through interconnected stub pipes at the bottom of each cylinder.
The water was then pumped up through the cylinders jackets and out through the interconnected stub pipes at the top of each cylinder, then forward to the front of the engine and back to the radiator for cooling.
The kit supplied cylinder block has the pre-molded coolant pipe for the cylinder jackets, but it looks unrealistic, as it extends through and between the separate cylinders, presumably to act as a solid fixing base for the cylinder block.
I've cut this pre-molded pipe away to separate the cylinders and replaced it with short lengths of 0.85 mm diameter plastic rod, with a chamfer at at end to fit the contour of the cylinders.
Mike
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/cylinderpipe.jpg)
-
Stunning work all round. I remember how tough I found it to get the cockpit cage into the fuselage without snapping the frames on this kit. You seemed to have breezed through it and your rendition of the cockpit is a work of art!
Cheers
Alistair
-
Alistair,
I had a few problem in that area, mainly the cockpit width at the rear edge of the fuel tank.
The fuselage closed up OK but bulged at the edges next to the tank.
I managed to get round this by carefully scrapping away the outside edges of the fuselage where the slight bulge is.
I also managed to snap the cross bar of the rear gun support frame while fitting the pilots shoulder harness.
All these thing are sent -- --- --
-
Congrats on closing up the fuselage and the engine is off to an excellent beginning! That framework and the carefull assembly needed is why I never recommend this kit as a first WNW build in spite of the lack of any major rigging 8)
RAGIII
-
Oh well. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one...None the less I'm proud of my DVII and my one snap - can't remember which - and twist of the cage are invisible as yours will also be. 8)
Cheers
Alistair

Hi all,
A magneto was located on each side at the rear of the engine. These were driven by the engine through a split drive shaft. Attached to each magneto were six ignition leads, which were routed through support tube attached to each side of the cylinder block. Each cylinder ignition lead exited the support tube through an aperture and was then attached to the cylinder spark plug (two per cylinder). The pre-molded support tubes supplied in the kit seem under sized, so I replaced them with micro-tube.
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/ignitionrail.jpg)
The sump of the engine was essentially a ‘wet’ sump, as the oil reservoir was in the rear and lowest part of the sump. The oil was drawn from this reservoir by the oil pump (located at the rear of the engine) and distributed through the engine, after which it returned to the reservoir to be recirculated. The forward part of the engine sump appears to have been open, as can be seen through the open apertures and the front of the sump in the following photograph. An oil contents sight glass was located on the sides of the oil reservoir at the rear of the sump. Some engine installations had an oil tank installed in the engine bay and outside the engine, although this particular kit does not have this feature. I've drilled out the apertures and created a sight glass on each side - the 'glass' will be made of PVA adhesive once the engine is built.

Hi all,
To enhance the engine detail I replaced the engines pre-molded locking rings for the fuel inlet manifold with the ‘Taurus Models’ engine intake manifold nuts (3211).
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/lockrings.jpg)
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/manifold.jpg)
The kit does not have spark plugs to fit to the six cylinders (two per cylinder), however the cylinders do have a pre-molded location hole for the spark plugs.
The plugs to be used are from the ‘Taurus Models’ engine spark plugs (late type) (3204) set.
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/plugs.jpg)
Mike
-
Impressive progress, and the completed cockpit is a gem.
Ciao
Giuseppe
-
Hi all,
I decided not to use the 'Taurus' spark plugs after all as although they are good, attaching the ignition leads to the tiny end of the plug was difficult to do without leaving it looking unrealistic.
Instead I've made the spark plugs from 0.8 mm and 0.4 mm diameter 'Albion Alloys' brass tube with a 0.31" aluminium nut from 'RB Motion'.
This way the fine lead wire I use to represent the ignition lead can locate inside the 0.2 mm bore of the 0.4 mm tube.
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/sparkplug.jpg)
Mike
-
Hi all,
The fuel primers for each cylinder are built using the 'Taurus Models' fuel priming cups (3219). They'll be painted when fitted to the engine.
(http://www.thatoneplease.co/buildlogs/DES/primers3.jpg)
Mike
-
Hi all,
The engine is progressing although there's a way to go yet, not including application of the weathering effects:
Cylinder fuel primers
Fuel manifold and locking rings
Coolant pipes
Ignition leads
Oil filler pipes
Exhaust
The oil sight glasses were made by dropping PVA adhesive into the holes - it dries clear (good for making windows etc).

One of the Most excellent engines I have seen!
RAGIII
-
Thanks.
This engine is the test bed for the second Fokker D.VII and will be more or less covered by the forward fuselage panels.
The next engine will be visible when I build the second aircraft, which will have the internal structure and engine etc totally exposed
I know it seems senseless to cover the detail on this engine, but at least I know it's there,
Mike
-
Hi all,
Well the engine is done.
There are details I've not added as this model will have the engine fully enclosed.
The second Fokker D.VII will have more detail as its engine will be fully exposed,

Thanks.
Normally I would add control rods or cables to things like the carburettor, magnetos, tachometer drive, machine gun synchronisation etc.
But not on this engine as it'll be mostly covered by the fuselage panels.
The accompanying model will be detailed,

Hi all,
I've applied the 'Aviattic' linen effect lozenge to the first Fokker D.VII now.
Under the decals, although it's difficult to see in the shots, is pre-shading.
I've yet to apply the kit decals and weather it all in,

Nice rigging details.
I assume those are Gaspatch turnbuckles. Are they the 1/32 scale, or 1/48 scale?
-
Hi Ken,
Yes they're 'GasPatch' 1:48th scale as I think the 1:32nd are a little over scale.
I hope they release resin in this scale as their resin 1:32nd ones look nice,

‘Aviattic’ linen effect decals - Fokker D.VII (Alb) 4 colour lozenge (ATT32164), (ATT32170) and (ATT32171).
As usual I've created a downloadable build log in Adobe PDF format, for those who might want to refer to it for reference or build details. It contains full step by step descriptions of the model build, its modifications/changes and is also supported with illustrations and photographs. If viewed in Adobe Reader, each build log has book marked chapters/headings for easier navigation through the log.
My model website has the gallery page, so to view any model, go to the gallery and select it. If it has a PDF build log, it will be available to download using the 'PDF' icon on that models photo's page. For any photograph, just click the photo to enlarge or reduce the viewing size.
http://igavh2.xara.hosting
My next model will be the ‘Aviattic’ stripped down (skeletal) model of the Fokker D.VII, which will be displayed alongside this Fokker D.VII model.
The major airframe components are 3D printed and were purchased from the ‘Shapeways’ web site. All other components for the model will be ‘donated’ from the ‘Wingnut Wing’ kit of the Fokker D.VII (OAW built) (Kit No: 32030).
