Title: Fokker D.VII//Roden//1:48// Polish Wings
Post by: KrzysiekK on April 06, 2018, 04:17:30 PM

Good Day,

I will try to use late Alb from Roden to represent Stefan Bastyr's D.VII being involved in Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920.

I am looking forward to your build K. Always nice to see more unusual schemes on the DVII.

It will be great to follow along with this build. We’ve got to keep a strong 1/48th scale presence here.

Wow!  Fantastic start on those details.  What was the diameter of the cooper wire you used?

Stitching and seat (cushion) look great! I'm watching with interest as I have the same decals in 1/72. Bastyr's D.VII was the one with the red-white zig-zag on the fuselage if I remember correctly?

It was fishing line, which better fits for this upgrade. AFAIR 0,08 ....
.
Jeroen: correct. Bastyr's zig-zag on the fuselage

Hi,
The wings were primed and sanded for dry pigment application, similar to have been done in my D.VI last year. At this time I would like to imitate the wings structure more firmly before Aviattic decals being applied

In the meantime I have done engine frame, which IMHO is quite hard task to accomplish...very fragile, must be very cautious once cutting out from the sprue
I have decided to have it opened so must have added PE part

The next step, which was rather tough one was dealing with attaching the engine bay to the fuselage..I have done several dry fittings before mission was finally accomplished.
