WNW Fokker D.VII (OAW): "The Seven Swabians"
« on: November 30, 2013, 06:10:11 AM »
Here are pix of the allegedly completed model, with prop in place.  While taking the photos I wondered why I couldn't see the stabilizer rigging, until it dawned on me that I somehow managed to forget that line! ::)  Oh well, I'll add it, but these are the final pix! ;D































Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Bob

Stunning, Bob!  She's absolutely gorgeous.  This is a scheme I would love to do in 1/48 scale.
Cheers,
Bud

Excellent build and finish. What an amazing scheme - just wish someone would produce these markings in 1/72 scale - that would be a really worthwhile scheme.

Absolutely gorgeous Bob and a very striking scheme you used, I love the red you used on the nose and tail, it is a very unique colour. Congratulations on producing and displaying an excellent model.
(I have three of these in my stash, really going to have to build one soon)

Great work Bob! That's such a crazy scheme. I think somebody lost a bet. "No, really. If I lose you get to paint a mural of a fairy tale on the side of your plane! What could possibly go wrong?"
