COMPLETED - 'Skinned' Fokker D.VII
« on: February 09, 2019, 08:14:59 PM »
Hi all,
In memory of 'Des', I thought I'd like to attempt a double build, consisting two Fokker D.VII aircraft and two figures.
A complete 'skinned' Fokker D.VII - Wingnut Wings Kit No:32027.
A 3D printed 'Aviattic' 'Skeletal' Fokker D.VII from 'ShapeWays'.
Anthony Fokker figure from 'Aviattic'.
Photographer figure from 'BlackDog Models'.

Mike

Very promising build, with the terrific skeletal and the figures is going to be something huge!

Hi all,
I'm making a start on the 'full built' Fokker D.VII.
Cockpit items (not yet completed) and flight control rigging and cockpit frame cross bracing.

As my Amigo, Rick, stated, this is a very ambitious project, yet one that I'm certain you will complete with you usual skill and style.  Very much looking forward to this one, Mike!
Cheers,
