Fokker DVII (OAW) in 1/48th scale by Eduard.

This kit was sent to me from a WWI modeler and an on line friend, David Lee, who lived in Newcastle, UK. It is going to have the markings of an unknown pilot from Hesse, Germany, which is where my great grand father came from. This is probably my third D VII build. One I still have and it was by Rodan and is posted above. It had a fairly detailed engine and an option for open panels which I did. Plus a spare engine which will be built as a separate model and a fuselage as well. Gary S.

I'm confused, you got a new kit or you just finished this one?

New kit but showing a previous build from Roden.

Old build and old kit. Gary S.

Both the Eduard (in front) and Rodan engine halves are glued together. Eduards PE set has a data plate for it's engine that will not be seen when installed in the fuselage so it's going on the other one. Gary S.

This morning, while working on both engined, I realised that I have enough parts left over from this kit and other kits to make another fuselage.
When I was building the D VIII model, I wonder why Fokker didn't build a low wing mono plane.
Now with all of these left over parts and scratch building the rest, I'm going to also build a D WF?. Gary S.

What a fun idea! Looking forward to this Gary.
