Fokker D.VII WnW
« on: December 12, 2018, 05:17:28 AM »

Fokker D VII in the colours of The 15th Polish fighting squadron flown by the second

lieutenant Antoni Bartkowiak , dated from the Bolshevik war in 1920, or immediately after.

The condition probably after March 1921. The model covered in Aviattic decals, a few

metal strips by HGW, KMs by Master and exceptionally good additions to the engine by

Taurus Models. The propeller is hand made from veneer. Reborn Poland seized about 50

Fokkers D. VII as a trophy (former German airbases in Wielkopolska ) or purchased some

from the producer- The OAW company in Piła within the borders of The Third Reich at the

time. These dealings were not fully legal, the planes were provided by German pilots by air-

they 'lost' the way from Piła nad landed at The Ławica airport 'by mistake'. After being

paid, they returned by train.

   A beautiful model in all regards Artro, the lozenge decals are flawless, the detail exceptional, and the overall impression spectacular! As one who also makes his own props from veneer I can really appreciate the beauty of the one you produced here as well. My compliments on a beautiful Build, you can be very proud of this one!
Cheers,
Lance

Really beautiful. Your additions were well worth the effort as the outcome is a very convincing Fok DVII.

Simply Gorgeous work all around! Your application of the Aviattic Lozenge is perfect an the patches are equally as good!
