Those wings are looking great, Kevin!  Large decals are not the easiest thing to work with.

Your lozenge covered wings are excellent. The front view of the upper wing Really Shows Off your conversion work!

Thanks everyone. Today was a holiday but I spent it using a Jack Hammer on a home project. I'll move on to the next phase
of this build soon.

                                                                               Happy Modeling,

Nice work, Kevin!  Bone dry over here in Felony Way today!  Really loving what you're doing on this guy.  I want to see it in person at the next IPMS show...whenever that is!

Hello everyone and many thanks for the feedback I've received along the way.  This Fokker will soon begin
to look like a bi-plane. I've completed the lozenge and rib tapes and added a few crosses. The fuselage has
been painted it's Jasta 46 colours but still needs a few more things. I'm now working on alignment and making
the required struts. Once all the struts are worked out I'll add the guns, ammo feeds and all the other easily knocked
off bits.







This is going to be a big model once it's completed and I sure hope it's done by the end of the year.

                                                                                          Happy Modeling,
                                                                                                          Kevin

That is very striking with the lozenge and fuselage painted. I hope that it does not take to the end of the yea to finish this\; or you will be working at the pace that I usually do!

Working in this scale has the advantage of being easier on the eyes but, also, the disadvantage of showing mistakes and omissions to a greater extent.

Frank, in the past, I've made the same type of jig for 1/72nd scale Fokker D.VIIs. I'll save this jig just in case I'm crazy enough to build this Revell kit again.

Hello everyone,
Only a little bit of progress on this build due to other duties. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it's what I like to call "The season of 10,000,000 leaves".
It's been me against the "Mighty Maple Leaf" working in the garden. Anyway, after a fun filled day outside I found the time to get this Fokker on it's feet.



You might remember that I made my landing gear struts out of brass. The jig I made really helped to get everything aligned. I've also been measuring for the wing struts in preparation of making them out of brass also.
Here's another comparison shot between the 1/28th scale Revell and a 1/72nd scale Roden kit.



You definitely need a lot of display space for a collection in this scale.

That's it for now, happy modeling!
                                                        Kevin

Fantastic, Kevin!  My wife and I just got back from a really nice 4 mile walk and man...the leaves are just amazing out there.

Your Fokker looks super awesome.  Really coming together now!

Can't wait for the finish,
