Fokker D.VII (OAW), Rudolf Stark, Jasta 35b.
Eduard 8131 Profipack, Microsculpt lozenge decals, Bob's Buckles eyelets and tubes.

Build log: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=10622.0

Good kit. Accurate, lots of nice details. Despite hardly any rigging...a tough nut to crack.
Eduard lozenge decals...not fantastic (what's new? $:-\$ )
Pleased with the result, but a D.VII is not exactly my cup of tea, so it doesn't make my heart sing.

Build in november 2019.

Thanks for watching,

Robin

That looks great, Robin. The weathering appropriately subdues the bright colors.

She looks mighty fine from where I'm sitting.
Well done on another fine build.

Cheers,

Beautifully done Robin, congratulations. Looks larger than 1/48, a testament to your skills.

Looks like a Fokker - it is a Fokker! You have a great feeling for colors.
Fine build, you can be proud of it.

Cheers,

It may not be your cup of tea, and I have to admit it is not really mine either, but if I had that in my collection I would be a very happy modeller indeed. Super build log too.

Looks fantastic. It may not be your favorite airplane but there sure were some colorful markings.

Robin,

That's NICE ! I really like the lavender color. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I know yours is 1/48. But, I have several kits of the old Revell 1/28 scale D.VII, AND the 1/28 after market decal set of Stark's markings from Copper State (as well as Udet's markings and the lozenge sheets). I always thought it would be cool to do the 1/28 version in those markings. I think your build here has inspired me. I think I just found a winter project (or two).
