WNW Fokker DVIIF: Erich Lowenhardt, Jasta 10

[RAGIII]

I am now working on the WNW Fokker DVIIF. The scheme will be Erich Lowenhardts DVIIF. As Greg van Wyngarden Termed it, this is a reconstruction based on eye witness accounts. I will be using Avaittics Decals for the Wing and reversed interior Lozenge.

Here are the Reference Material and Scheme. I have done some cockpit work and will post pictures Tomorrow.

Great stuff Rick

You can't have enough Fokker builds! The yellow should lend itself nicely to some subtle weathering..

I'm looking forward to following your build, Rick.  With your ability, it will be great!
I totally agree with Guy.  Onward and upward, my friend!

Cheers,

I wasn't going to post until later when I had time to properly set up better lighting. I changed my mind after my FIRST use of the Aviattic's Reversed Lozenge decals! These are the first of this Newer Transparent type of decal I have used. I have seen photos, read accounts of their use, etc. but I didn't really understand until I wet the decal and slid it off of the paper! WOW! One thing I now know, I will have to be VERY subtle when doing preshading of the wings. I will take more photos in better light later.

Those decals are really neat and quite the biz

Thanks Kevin. Just a little more about my experience with these. I was warned by my Friend Ira Campbell that these were Pre- Production versions, ( Not on the Final Paper), and that I would be literally peeling them off. Well, the truth is they slid right off of the paper backing and were VERY easy to move around and position. I couldn't be more pleased  IMHO the texture is perfect!

PS: I forgot to thank all of you who responded with encouragement and well wishes for my build. THANK YOU!

The decals are really something, Rick.  I don't think you could ask
for a more realistic look.  Carry on with the great work!

Cheers,

Great start RAG.

The cockpit looks awesome... very nicely achieved, together with the interior decals coulnd't be any better.

Cheers

You are just motoring along Rick. Are the interior bits just press-fit? Will you add the rigging to the interior?
 Those decals are just the bomb. I can see selling off some stash just to add some funding towards decals like these.
