1/72 Eduard Fokker (OAW) DVII

[torbiorn]

If others hadn’t pointed it out, I would never have guessed it’s brush painted. I especially like the propeller

can those kits actually be built in a weekend?

Yes, they actually can - if your selected paint scheme isn’t too complicated that is. This is probably the easiest 1/72 kit I’ve built of a Great war type and I’m rather embarrased about how many I’ve bought. But as he said (it’s not only you, Dave )the cabane struts may need a bit of a talking to, but is easy enough if you glue the N-struts first, then, when attaching the cabane with lots of ends, glue only a few of those ends at a time.

Thank you!

Yes, all my models are painted by brush

A real eye-popper, Dave!
Great smooth coverage for a brush painted kit. Used to be relatively easy with old formula (lead) paints but needs a lot of skill with the modern stuff. Excellent work.

Dave,

Very clean build and excellent brush mastery.  I am quite envious.

Hi Dave, way to go! The modeling world needs more 1/72 Fokker DVIIs! The Eduard kit is excellent, I have a couple in progress. That is a nice color scheme. Cool!

Sandy, Stuart, Zac and Glenn -

Thank you all kindly gentleman.  The model actually looks sharper and cleaner in the flesh - the close up photos really show all the flaws!

Hi Dave, just catching up after a lengthy absence, it's lovely to see your finely honed skills being put to good use. This is a real beauty finished with your signature brush painting perfection.

All the best
