WNW Fokker DVII fok with lifelike decals

[drdave]

I'm off again with an OOB quickie for fun. I'm doing the Bavarian option. Not impressed with old prop lozenge. It shattered so I'm using the kit 4 lozenge and will post tint it. My next will use Aviattic lozenge

Nice start Dave, looking forward to following this build.

Looking really good so far, Dave. Will be following this closely as I'm building Udet's VII F

Nice start, Dave.  Too bad about the lozenge problems, but you are doing a great
job with the WnW version.  I am looking forward to seeing how you tint it. 

Cheers,

Hello Dave:

I know what you mean about the W&W lozenge.  I like their stuff, but it is real fragile.  I too have gone back to using the kit decals.  With some weathering, it looks pretty decent.  I have seen the decals, but just haven't seen any that hit my switch.  I will see how your Bavarian turns out as seeing the scheme on a completed kit really sells the decal.  That being written, I will be following your build.

Looking very sharp Dave!  Nice decaling work.  I have this Lifelike sheet, and plan to build the swan D.VII.  How did these decals handle and apply for you?  The final results look excellent.   

Cheers,

It's ruthless efficiency grabbing an hour of planned time after kids bath/ bed mate.

The decals are good. They prefer warm water, bit brittle when cold. Settle well. Very susceptible to microsol. Good, but not quite Pheon. I like the scheme though and would definitely use them again. I have a DV set from them.
The real contrast is the robust abuse- proof WNW lozenge vs the lovely but oh so thin and brittle old propeller set. Never again.
