Another D VII
« on: July 27, 2014, 07:09:36 AM »
This is a Eduard 1/48 D VII OAW flown by Rudolph Stark. Too bad I finished it before I knew about the group build. 

I love this particular kit because when I ordered it came in missing some of the decals. I contacted the seller who refunded the full price and told me to keep it because they didn't want to mess with the return shipping and they couldn't sell it without the decals.   ;D

That's a nice looking D.VII, great looking lozenge!  The lilac markings look splendid. Btw, I thought Hasso von Wedel's aircraft were marked with a red richtrad- I believe yours wears the livery of Rudolf Stark.

I am another fan of Rudolf Stark's lilac paint scheme and you have
captured it beautifully. Beautiful model, Robert!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Yep, you are correct, I apparently had a senior moment when I posted the description.

Thanks for all the kind words.  I must have mixed a gallon of paint till I got the color I wanted.
