Hello everybody,
Well, I am very happy to say that this build is now finished – it has been a blast, and I'm very happy to have a 1:32 DVII in my collection again. (my Battle Axe model was terminally crashed in a move, and has now been firmly put where it belongs – in the bin. (I kept all the bits in a zip lock until now, as I thought I just might repair it someday
).
The WNW kits are very much what the Battle Axe was not – however it was not just a walk in the park. Even though I had no problems in the final construction, there were some earlier stages where you really had to pay attention to what you were doing.
Anyway, I'm meandering – once the top wing slid into place, there were only some minor rigging and touch ups to do – so here she is Carl Degelows DVII mount of Jasta 40:
Here are a few shots of the early DVII I've been building in tandem –291/18 Ex Jasta 6, now Flieger abt A298 of Wzfw Meyer
As a matter of a fact this was the same plane I modeled with my old B.A. kit – this time its more accurate in many ways, and in a lot better shape.
The props were done trying a new technique using coloured pencils –pretty easy and something I'll use again for sure.
Guess this is pretty much it – Thank You to Stephen for staging the G.B., and Thank You to Taurus Models for the extra bits for the engine. And of course Thank You to all of you who commented and dropped in during the build.
All comments are as usual most welcome
Mikael
