Re: Fokker D.VII OAW - 1:48 Eduard

Most of the time so far, that I have spent with this project, has been to research more information about the 1.D.357. However, I started with the cockpit, or more precisely the cockpit wooden floor, the control stick, the compass etc. https://i.postimg.cc/gJ51GVCj/IMG-1606.jpg The compass is a colo...

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Model in September

Wouh, that's indeed a mix of very different models!

But those pistols are really one of a kind, they really look so real !
(they cannot be anything else than are real pistols! :giggles: )

Kari, I’m not sure which aircraft Gary chose to model, but the color scheme seems slightly off which is why I just highlighted the ski mechanism. Gary’s known for details; I think that’s where he excels. I’ve seen quite a few splinter camo versions, curiously. I have not researched too much so far....

Re: Fokker D.VII OAW - 1:48 Eduard

Sooner or later I need to make skis from scratch, so I thought to do some tryouts, test examples.. The greatest challenge with the skis is to be able to bend the tips slightly upwards. I read somewhere regarding "lamination method", in other words using a few thin styrenes (0.2-0.3 mm thic...

Re: What's on your work bench atm ?

The looks of a build change so dramatically when the gears are on!
Especially those with a nose wheel! NICE!

Who's kit was this (sorry if forgot... but 2 years is... well, can be a long time :-D )

Interesting build Stuart!

Re: Fokker D.VII OAW - 1:48 Eduard

Thanks Bruce! Yeah, I have seen this gorgeous build. :wub: :wub:
