Old vs. New- Revell and Eduard Fokker D.VIIs in 1/72

    Lovely little pair Dan, crisp and clean and your chosen schemes are very impressive! It's hard to believe they aren't of a larger scale, you've really done a nice job here. A similar double Build with Albies would be interesting for certain!!
Cheers,

Two beautiful little gems!

You have shown clearly here, that masterful hands can create a great model also from a old kit! Both D.VII are great.
I think the main advantage of the new kit are the huge amount of options on wheels, radiator, panels .... so it is much easier to build a historic correct model without to much effort.

To create such models in God's own scale (as Stephen call it) says a lot!

Both your models look fantastic, Dan. It's really nice to see how that old Revell kit can look when modelled as you've done. I remember building it so many years ago 
Cheers,

Both great builds and its amazing what a little sprue(cing) can do for the Revell kit

That is a really interesting comparison. I had the Revell kit (now sold on) but did build one a long time ago. Yours is a huge improvement on the basic kit but when it is finished it is very difficult to recognise its age. Two very impressive models - and in the True Scale which makes them even better!

Great builds!

Perfect Dan, seriously beautiful work. Having completely trashed the three 1/72 biplanes I attempted last year I can only marvel at these exquisite builds!

[Old Man]

Very good work, Sir.

It is nice to see the old and new together, and a pleasure to hear the old one holds its own.

Very nice pair !  Look larger than 1/72.

very nicely built and finished pair of DVII - kudos! That Revell kit brings up good memories - built a couple many many years ago - always felt it really nailed the major shapes just perfect and needed just a little enhancement and love to shine - as you have done so well here!
