Title: WW1 project and prototype
Post by: sgeorges4 on May 27, 2020, 06:16:56 AM: So since I already got some WW1 aircraft model in stock,before starrting them,I decided to do a recap of what I got
-Pfalz DIII from eduard wich is going to be use for a triplan (I got a resin conversion):
(https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/media/pfalz-d-iii-triplane.26041/full?d=1533599891)
-2 Fokker DVII MAG ,I decided to do 1 romanian and the other will eb somewhat of a surprise,both will be base on the Wnr 3867 configuration
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/0Sct7UlTE5GJOzJLlb7AsdNAaSBGlSzqOwYuobnfZ9H2lBeUmYDrls7jsxxIV4LpVxzS8J9lSecaxVItWo0vRxuLNStn)
-2 Roden fokker DVII ,1 is going to be use for an aircraft base on the V24
-Albatros DIII from roden at 1/32 scale,I'll base him on the prototype
-Fokker DVII from dragon (don't know what to do with him for now)

I think that's about it. With 1 DVII MAG,I wanted to do one base on the V22 ,but the radiator is verry different and I'm not experienced enough to scratch one

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 27, 2020, 04:01:01 PM: Thanks,also eduard seem to have changed 3867 losange pattern in their 1/72 scale DVII MAG.
Got to wonder why they reissue their OAW DVII at 1/48 scale but not the OAW and fokker one

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 27, 2020, 08:46:10 PM: Is it possible to do wood on propeller with a brush or not?
I'm planning to acquire the du doch nicht box,the albatros DV will be base on the prototype,the fokker Dr1 will be use for a F1 (only 3 were build,so I think I got what if opportunity with this one), the DVII from OAW will be use for a orderred but unbuilt aircraft.

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 27, 2020, 09:41:33 PM: ok,I guess I'll have to do it with tape or a tiny brush
Title: Re: WW1 project and prototype
Post by: sgeorges4 on May 27, 2020, 10:02:47 PM: I think I'll use a 1/72 DVII MAG from eduard for the V22 since it got more radiator and fuselage option

If you like to see a build report of this rare bird you can find it here:

Have fun modeling,

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 28, 2020, 12:05:35 AM: thanks! That's going to be useful! I got the same conversion set and the DVII MAG base on the V22 will be czechoslovakian.
What was the engine of this prototype?

Post by: lone modeller on May 28, 2020, 02:32:38 AM: This looks like an interesting collection that you intend to build. Mind if I follow along?

Post by: Mossie on May 28, 2020, 02:53:01 AM: The engine was an Austro-Daimler AD6 200hp engine.

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 28, 2020, 04:38:47 AM: ok thanks !
Title: Re: WW1 project and prototype
Post by: sgeorges4 on May 29, 2020, 04:15:05 AM: Since my DVII MAG losange got some damage and the pattern has changed in the 1/72 box,I decided to do both without losange.
1 will be romanian with the same configuration as 38.67
(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/47/7c/91/477c91ac84ab4ef277fc7804a2749be1.jpg)
the other will be from the hungarian red army and I'm thinking of doing something unique with this one (the configuration will beidentical to the one of the 38.67)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpDNvYlW0AAKvXG.jpg)
The DVII MAG base on the V22 will be done using the 1/72 scale one from eduard and it's going to be a czechoslovakian aircraft.

Post by: sgeorges4 on May 29, 2020, 03:09:53 PM: I really want to start the DVII MAG but I got way too much build (though the majority are just in need of painting but since I didn't have the time to go to a model shop for some diluent and paint).
Title: Re: WW1 project and prototype
Post by: sgeorges4 on May 30, 2020, 04:53:30 PM: What revell color correspond to the H85 sail color ?
I've also seen those fokker being done in white

Also, I decided to start both fokker yesterday because I still don't have time to go to a modelism shop ,but when I do,I'll search the paint and the diluent in order to paint all the kit I've been building during the quarantine at the same time
