Awesome James!! I had a printout of a email receipt in my stocking for one of these from my wife...it's in customs right now but will hopefully be here soon...my first WnW kit

That Anthony sure was a Fokker wasn't he? Thank goodness for the Khaki Boys that he didn't have access to the inline engines until very late in the war.

Cheers

Bummer. Cockpit is now all painted and ready to go together, but for one thing. I thought I had seat belts, but I dont. So the cockpit will have to wait as I have some on order. So glued the wings together and just have to clean the seam. Painted the lower wing CDL in prep for the decals, but there is some splattering. Not sure why, so I'll have to clean that up and re shoot. Time to start the engine also. Not really much to see so no pictures this time.

WNW calls for German Yellow XF60.

The total inventory of D7's was the only aircraft the allies insisted on being surrendered at wars end.

Imagine That

I was very surprised to read that the US got most of the DVIIIs. They used them quite a bit it seems and mostly in the flight training role. So anyone who wants an interesting alternative to lozenges could go that way. Also the other countries that got them have some very attractive schemes.

Got my turnbuckles and had to try them out.

And a gratuitous pic.

Looking good James. How you like those buckles over Bob's Buckles?

 

[Sharkmouth]

How you like those buckles over Bob's Buckles?

I'm hoping James puts his experiences with both into a review or two...

Regards,

I will try Saul, just I seem to have writers block at the moment. I will really try.

I gave Bobs a try and these seem easier. But both are so tiny and as you know I'm having issues so we'll see.

That is so cool James. Did you paint the IP or is it a decal? Also the seat looks like real leather. Good job.

Thanks Joe. The instrument faces are decals. Everything else is paint. Unfortunately the wooden floor and ip dont show the wood grain too well in the pics. The seat pad is oils over vallejo.
