WNW 1/32 Fokker DVII Udet "Du Doch Nicht!!"
« on: December 08, 2013, 02:56:17 AM »
Probably an over-done scheme but I had built a 1/72 Revell in these markings 20+ years ago and wanted to revisit it when WNW released their new DVIIs.

Fantastic kit though it fought me something fierce and I had some really bad luck with it (at one point it was knocked off my airbrush booth and smashed)

Glad to get it done though there are some warts and things I wished I had done better

Even though you fought this one, Petrov, you won brilliantly.  Beautiful
model of Ernst Udet's colourful kite.  Well done!
Out of curiosity, what paint did you use for the red?

Cheers,
Ernie :)

She's a beauty, Petrov!  One to truly be proud of.  Congratulations, my friend.
Cheers,

Thanks all!

The red is Vallejo Air scarlett red - goes through the airbrush real nice and easy but it is a very thin paint that took many coats to get a real solid color that I wanted.

That is a wonderful model with a superb finish - very many congratulations on a truly remarkable effort. The warts do not show I can assure you. I bet this was a pig to do in 1/72 scale!

Hello Petrov:  This really turned out nice.  I like the scheme and you did an excellent job on it.  I know what you mean about the kit fighting you.  I am on #3 and still it fights, but not as much.  Great job overall.

Best

Beautiful, Petrov! I like the red stripes on the top wing.   ;D  This one is also on my build list.  What decals did you use?  Pheon is planning to do these markings, but Rowan'ssheet is not out yet.  I'm waiting on that sheet.

Regards,

Bob

I drew the decals earlier this year and they were printed in white by Fireball Modelworks. I also contacted Krow from the LSP boards and he did vinyl cut masks for this scheme based on my artwork but I found that I need more practice with the use of masks and chickend out and went with the decals for now...

Excellent paintwork Petrov, and a beautiful scheme. The red is just right; not too bright yet spectacular in effect. Congratulations on a very impressive Model.
