Unknown Fokker D.VII. Plastic Supplied by WNW

[GazzaS]

After a few more hours, the engine and other parts are in place and ready to go into the cockpit.






I used clear UV gel to give the dials a glassy look.

Happy Modelling!!

Great work Gazza, the panel behind the seat look amazing. All the little painted details look so neat and convincing. Lovely modelling!

Nice, crisp detail, GazzaS.  Logical weathering in the cockpit, too.

I know from my limited experience of WNW engines that their kits are good but modellers like you take them to a much higher level. Super internal details and weathering. I am looking forward to more updates.

That’s very convincing Gaz!

So, the props are just kit props masked and sprayed? I like all of them.

Thank you, Stephen.  I really don't do too much with the engines.  Just paint and some washes.   I like to use the Citadel washes Agrax Earthshade, Nuln oil, and Seraphim Sepia.  They're acrylic washes that flow well and dry pretty quickly.

That’s very convincing Gaz!

Thank you, Guy.  Yes, just painted a light wood color, masked and painted with a darker wood color.  And then finally sprayed with some Tamiya clear orange and yellow.

Great work Gazza, the panel behind the seat look amazing. All the little painted details look so neat and convincing. Lovely modelling!

Thank you, Richie!  I've always loved the look of the lozenge behind the seat.  Thankfully, WNW provides nice decals for it.

What a great start into a great project!

Inspired by the guys who have begun to fabricate their own props, I looked for materials.  I considered both paper and laminating balsa.

Hmm, you masked props looks nice, but if you want to try real layers one day: I think balsa has to much grain and you will not get a nice surface from it.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Frank.  I think I'll stick to painting for now.

GazzaS
I am super impressed with your prop painting skills. Did you make some kind of masks or is the darker color freehand?

My favorites, if one can put that fine a point to it, are #4 & #1.

Just masks my friend.  Thank you!  My hands are far too unsteady for neat painting.
