Title: Fokker D VII OAW Sieben Schwaben Gothaforce 1:32
Post by: Jorgo on April 06, 2026, 08:46:17 PM

Hello everyone!
Here are a few photos of the build of the Fokker D VII OAW Sieben Schwaben. Assembling the printed parts is straightforward, []though[/img] you?ll need a bit of patience when separating them. The detail is superb. The decals must only be applied using water; only once they?ve been applied can you use Micro Sol, for example.

The engine gets some paint, no extra parts needed

Then I tried to simulate the painting of the OAW engine covers before airbrushing the Jasta 65 brown color

Brilliant work, Joerg. Such nice detail on that engine! Nice idea to base-paint the cammo on the engine cowling before applying the top coat of "rust" colour.
Cheers,
Gary

Give your pictures a different background - and they will pass as full size originals!
Superb work.

That looks pretty good, Joerg - it's going to be a fine D.VII.
But be careful - the left machine gun won't work without the loading lever.  ;)

Thank you very much, Jo, Bertl and Nigel !
Eagle eyed Bertl, you are absolutely right , the left MG does not work? because I broke the loading lever and then could not find it 😅🤷

Greetings
