RODEN 1/48th FOKKER DVII
« on: December 16, 2012, 10:57:20 AM »
 

   I started this build back in Feb. It`s not the easiest DVII  to build  with it`s fit problems and soft plastic.I paid 20 dollars for the kit so I wont complain much. Here`s some photo`s so far.











     That`s all for now,

            Willi

Outstanding work so far, Willi.  I love this scheme.  She's gonna be a knockout.
Cheers,
Bud

Nice build of what I've heard is a tough kit. Great looking scheme.

Looks great. And you're right, the kit is not the easiest I've seen.

Willi,
Looks terrific so far! I noticed your sign on is Miami angler, Wondering if you are one of my old friends from Orange Blossom Hobbies and Warrick Hobbies days in the 90s' ?

Hi Rick,

  So you are still in N.C. :).  I still remember the good old day`s at Warrick`s . I just got into WW1 because of the Swanny`s contest .I had the Special Hobbies kit of the Lloyd in my stash for a few years and probably have never built it if it was not for the contest.

 Now I`m building up my stash of WNW Kits and getting ready to build a few next year :) . I have a few builds going on in the LSP site an Arado 196 and He162.

Hi Rick:

Looking good.  The PE work on the guns is nicely done as well.  I have always liked this scheme.  Looking forward to seeing you progress through this build.

Best
