Fokker D.VII ammo cans

[jknaus]

Saw this on FB and read the review here http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3592-132-fokker-d-vii-empty-ammo-box-madsam/ I have asked if there are any left and hopefully can order a couple. I have also asked if they might make the control horns separately. Maybe of interest if you are quick to order.

Those look cool - thanks for the heads up!

Nice, would save some aggro for most D.VII builds, along with Gaspatch ammo belts.. sweet.

Just a shame the D.VII itself is going to be in short supply though.

A run of 15 sets may be an experiment to see if demand is good. I don't know anything about producing photo etch but it's easier than pouring resin , isn't it?

Well I have 2 in the mail. I also wrote and asked about just making the control horns and the owner sounds amiable. Maybe if there was some interest he might come out with these?

Ordered two sets here

Received mine and built one up - probably would be easier with one of those photoetch folding tools but I just used tweezers and pliers. The feed chutes are a bit tricky at first to assemble....

A section of ammunition from Taurus fits pretty good in the feed chute - I think this will look slick in a WNW DVII (now I just need to start another one to put it in lol)

Pouring Resin is incredibly easy....not sure about the photo etch.

resins easier thats for sure.its just a systematic aproach that must be followed,the neater and more accurate you are about making molds the better your results.
