1:48 Roden Fokker D.VII (Jasta 21)

[ALBATROS1234]

thats what i was saying .the frame parts are molded on the side panels as well as included as a separate part. you have to remove the molded on detail to use the actual framing. or else it gets cramped and doesnt sit right.

OK, I apparently misunderstood you. In this case, I left panel framework intact, but didn't add the other loose pieces that represent the same thing.

Coming along beautifully, Kevin.  The prop looks great.

Thanks Bud, it means a lot coming from you. Ooh,… I have stripes! Far from perfect, but easy to touch-up.

Very nice.

The stripes look fantastic, Kevin.  This is going to be one very striking bus.

Of all the D.VII references I have, this machine is my clear favorite, and I've put off doing it for quite a while now. I'd have preferred to do this with the 1:32 WNW kit, however,...

It's my intention to have it 100% finished before the end of this month, as that will then leave me five weeks to finish a 1:32 Mig 21MF I'm also working on for our annual invitational.

  Kevin,
Love those stripes my old friend. She's one beautiful kite in the making.
Highest Regards,

Kevin - very nice looking model, the black and white stripes will be a striking contrast to the loz fabric.

Thanks, I think so too. I'll know for sure by this weekend at the latest.

Kevin,
    This is looking VERY nice; it's the little extras you've included from the beginning that make it stand out..going to be a beauty when done!

G'day, Kevin.

I like the way you've done the prop.  Those stripes really catch the eye, too.  You're doing some great work.

Dal.

[Whiteknuckles]

Looking great Kevin, she'll be a stunner when completed!

Fokker Boy,
  Re- Check and Cross Check all of your Refs carefully, they are often contradictory. I've been caught more then once, I find a second look often clears up the quandry, and questions here are bound to provide the best of opinion and advise.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for all the kind comments and encouragement fellas, it means a lot to me.
