One of the best DVII builds I have seen to date! Excellent save on the kit Lozenge!

Welcome Jeroen and thanks for joining us. Thats an amazing Fokker and it proves that the WNW decals, which are sound in quality, can, with a little patience and paint, look good.

What a beautiful model Jeroen, and thank you for the information
on toning down the lozenge.  One quick question...did you thin
the Tamiya Smoke, or spray it as is...and about what air pressure?
  Thanks for your help, and for sharing your work with us.

Best Regards,
Ernie

Thanks for the humbling replies gents! About the Smoke: this is a bit of a tricky color because there is a definite turning point that goes from ok to overdone. I thin it down 50-50 with Tamiya thinners, not to make the spraying easier but more to build up color density . Pressure was kept as low as possible but overspray on either side of the tape is a must to get this effect. I think the effect you see here took about 8-9 normal passes with the airbrush...

i agree, this fading effect makes the wnw decals look quite good. brad cancian must use a similar method as his lozenge covered models look similar. i tryed another method which worked o.k. but not as good as this. i mixed a light grey/beige color mixed with future to an almost translucent coating. using a wide flat brush i worked it 45 degrees to the chord when dry 90 degrees to that, after dry span wise and then finally chordwise. i was trying to tone them down as well as create a fabric texture. it was ok looking but its just much easier to use the aviattic decals and call it a day.

Very, very nice! I love this dull appearance.

Lovely effect 😉

I thought how great the aftermarket decals looked - until you told me they were Wingnuts!

Although quite surprised WW don't want to team up with Aviattic...
