Keep up the good work! Can you say something more about the fitting problems since I have Roden`s DVII in my stash.
Best regards

The lower wings are very tight and have to be sanded to get them level with the Fuselage. The small parts break easy so care has to be taken when removing them from the sprues. Getting the cowling to fit is a night mare .Other then that it goes together fairly well .O and decals are brittle . I used the Techmod and Eduard decals on this build .  If you have an Eduard Fokker DVII I would build that first !

Small update :

I completed the top wing so it will be mounted on the A/C very soon. The prop has been decaled and has 5 coats of clear gloss sprayed on . I added the seat with painted seatbelts and added the hand grips to the fuselage along with the foot step.







Thanks that`s all for now ,

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

I always liked the looks of the D.VII. Have you gotten one of the new WNW 1:32 kits yet?

 Yes I have started work on the engine ,`m doing the 200HP engine with the works (plumbing and wiring ) I have been in contact with Taurus models .My Wife is in Poland visiting her son  and will be getting me the resin sets I need for a few of  my WNW A/C . Even a new set that is not on the market yet to be used on the Fokker DVII.As soon as I have the set in my hands I will post the photo`s asap!

Nice work Willi, that Mauve is very attractive on this beast! I've commented in the past that Roden should change Decal suppliers, always disappointing in an otherwise very decent Kit. Your lozenge looks great and you are doing an excellent job on this one!
Cheers,
Lance :)
