Hi all,
I've applied the 'Aviattic' linen effect lozenge to the first Fokker D.VII now.
Under the decals, although it's difficult to see in the shots, is pre-shading.
I've yet to apply the kit decals and weather it all in,

Hi all,
The fuselage sides and top decking had a brown glaze applied, but nowhere else on the aircraft.
I've added that and now I'll add the personal and national markings,

Hi all,
The engine with radiator assembly is now fitted, along with the cockpit coaming panel and the lower wing.

Been away for a while. This looks absolutely brilliant. You are nailing it.

Hi all,
Apart from final weathering, the fuselage front end is done,

Hi all,
The rigging used is 0.08 mm 'Stroft' and 0.12 mm 'Steelon' mono-filament (fishing line).
The pre-rigging is done for the rudder, elevator, ailerons and undercarriage cross bracing.

Nice rigging details.
I assume those are Gaspatch turnbuckles.  Are they the 1/32 scale, or 1/48 scale?

Hi Ken,
Yes they're 'GasPatch' 1:48th scale as I think the 1:32nd are a little over scale.
I hope they release resin in this scale as their resin 1:32nd ones look nice,

Hi all,
The pre-rigging is done now so it's time to fit the upper wing,
