Title: WNW 10th Escadrille Fokker DVII
Post by: The_Magnificent_Squadron on March 09, 2023, 03:43:38 AM: WNW Fokker DVII (alb) finished, built from a Fokker DVII early using albatros parts.
Finished in the scheme of a post war Belgian machine flown by the 10th Escadrille and carrying its insignia; the comet. I dont know much about this aircraft other than its a Albatros built machine, its propeller make and a general idea of how the roundels looked.

it was a Perfect for the testbed for my new Cricut machine and making my own custom paint masks. as such all markings other than lozenge were painted with my own custom printed paint masks. It did take some trial and error and those who saw my posts in the under construction section will notice ive painted over the damaged sections with colours which are fairly close i like to think, Tamiya XF-52 is a dead ringer for the brown on Aviattic lozenge sets. what do you think?

The painted repairs to the lozenge are invisible to me, I think you've done a brilliant job!
