Fokker D VII OAW Sieben Schwaben Gothaforce 1:32

[Jorgo]

Hello everyone!
Here are a few photos of the build of the Fokker D VII OAW Sieben Schwaben. Assembling the printed parts is straightforward, []though[/img] you?ll need a bit of patience when separating them. The detail is superb. The decals must only be applied using water; only once they?ve been applied can you use Micro Sol, for example.






Preshading of the fuselage
 

Shine through effects
 

Decals fixed
 
 

The engine gets some paint, no extra parts needed

Then I tried to simulate the painting of the OAW engine covers before airbrushing the Jasta 65 brown color

Brilliant work, Joerg. Such nice detail on that engine! Nice idea to base-paint the cammo on the engine cowling before applying the top coat of "rust" colour.
Cheers,

Thank you so much for your kind comments, Gary and Przemol; they mean a lot to me.

Give your pictures a different background - and they will pass as full size originals!
Superb work.

That looks pretty good, Joerg - it's going to be a fine D.VII.
But be careful - the left machine gun won't work without the loading lever.

Thanks for sharing your build photos Joerg, excellent work all round.

Thank you very much, Jo, Bertl and Nigel !
Eagle eyed Bertl, you are absolutely right , the left MG does not work? because I broke the loading lever and then could not find it 😅🤷

Greetings
