Me, I will not shed a single tear for this one...
I'm sure there must be D.VII's in polish livery?

regards,
Ivo

Yes, there were many. But I dislike the aircraft, like all Fokker builds from WW1, despite their historic value. No rigging, no fun. Well, E.I-E.IV would be better, but then - no Polish markings :-)

Didn't the Poles add some rigging to the DVIII ?  ::)

This was very distressing news to read, as I had my heart set on an Alb. built version of the iconic D.VII. I do have an OAW en route though, so all is not lost. I seriously doubt I'll pay the feebay scalper prices, but I'll get the Alb. version one of these days, no matter how long it takes.

I am sure the Fokker D.VII will be back from WNW in some form. Build one of their other kits while you wait

I agree Eric. I think the more natural "Duellist" adversary for the D.VII would be an SE 5a.


...... or a Sopwith Dolphin .........

Yep, Sandy!  My thoughts (and hopes), exactly!



Well this makes all 3 of the Amigos in agreement !!!

Ed
Cheers,
Bud

I agree with both of you!
