33 mm vs 6.95m real scale make it 1/210! Good news are it is Fokker, so ALMOST NO RIGGING. But the spoked wheels would be fine.
As for the colour scheme, I would still suggest hand painted losenge on the entire airframe. If not, than maybe a yellow-black Sachsenberg checkboard  ;)

Thanks gentlemen. I chose the red and white Raven scheme.For the underside losenge I am stippling paint with a stiff brush. At this tiny size it works if you squint your eyes.

I find that works in 1/32 scale too.  :D

Bravo for a very good attempt. You are the front runner for the Lilliputian model prize for 2014.

You know, Stan, we have bigger mosquitoes here. ;) ;D  I never thought
of a model as a lapel pin, but there you go.  Amazing work, though!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

    You are correct Stan, you must be crazy! (You do phenomenal work though!!) :)
  ..........and as for Ernie's comments about the Mosquitos here (we live in North Western Canada) that's why we can't join you in building in this scale, the "skeeters" would destroy the models trying to have their carnal way with them! ;) Last, you are smart like a fox, you could hide a phenomenal size stash of these no problem!
Cheers,

Brilliant, Stan.  My wife would love wearing that as a pendant.  It goes nicely with Monnington's D.VII I just finished.
Cheers,
