Fokker D.VII x3 - Eduard 1/72
« on: November 15, 2020, 06:17:16 AM »
3x Polish Fokkers from the 1920s.
Started at the end of last year, they finally got back to the workshop.
Nice kit, fits better then the Roden's one.







"Memento mori" - 13 Fighter Squadron Polish - Bolshevik war 1920.

"Bi Ba Bo" flown by Adam Haber-Włyński civilian instructor in Flying School at Ławica air base next to Poznan 1920, after that servet at 15 Fighter Squadron in Polish - Bolshevik war.

Flying school in Bydgoszcz 1922-25 - plane is disarmed as a training aircraft

Beautiful work! I love the mix of camouflages, and fabriced/open wheels. The non-lozenge scheme reminds me of a Polikarpov Po-2, which I like.

I don't think I've looked at the Eduard 1/72 D.VII before...those cockpits are gorgeous.

They are beautiful! Is the lozenge from the kit decals?

I used the Aviattic decals, I think they are designed for Roden, but with small adjustments are suitable for Eduard too.
