COMPLETED - 'Skinned' Fokker D.VII

[Mike Norris (UK)]

Thanks.
This engine is the test bed for the second Fokker D.VII and will be more or less covered by the forward fuselage panels.
The next engine will be visible when I build the second aircraft, which will have the internal structure and engine etc totally exposed
I know it seems senseless to cover the detail on this engine, but at least I know it's there,

Hi all,
Well the engine is done.
There are details I've not added as this model will have the engine fully enclosed.
The second Fokker D.VII will have more detail as its engine will be fully exposed,

Thanks.

Normally I would add control rods or cables to things like the carburettor, magnetos, tachometer drive, machine gun synchronisation etc.

But not on this engine as it'll be mostly covered by the fuselage panels.

The accompanying model will be detailed,

If this one isn't detailed the next one should actually run! Beautiful work Mike!

Outstanding Mike 

[Bughunter]

Oh yes, this engine looks great and real!
You use the advantage of the big scale to a full extend, so much more details compared to my quarter scale one.

All is said, if it wasn't for the tack base and the unpainted crank this can be taken for a real engine!

Awesome! I love the stained and washed proper plane prop! I was afraid to try anything on my last one so you have inspired me to do so on the next! The Machine guns are also excellent!
