The Big Reveal!

 

The last few bits went well enough. The only annoying part of the experience was when my AC kicked on and blew my tiny, fragile, and extremely light scratch-built gun sights onto the Carpet Monster. Happily, I was able to find them after several minutes of exasperated searching. I even found some tiny parts from previous models! In summation, this early Paweł Mistewicz design is, as usual, a very nice kit, albeit not quite as nice as Pawel's later, more evolved designs. Enjoy the pictures!

I see your still building these wonderful works of art!  very nice.......the Fokker planes are among my favorites.  still working to figure out how to do the lozenge though........hard to figure out the pattern.  I noticed you had the same problem I had when building these planes in the past.......the tail skid breaking.  a remedy I came up with was to rest the tail on something while building the model, so there is no weight on it.  then there is the old favorite idea of adding it toward the end of the build.  F1's and Dr1's have the wing skids...........those were another thing that needed to be watched out for.

    super job though........you truly are the master of paper!   

I yam wot I yam!

I didn't comment this build before, but I am catching up now. This is a great representation of a Fokker DVII, very carefully assembled as usual and which hardly gives away its paper-made nature. I love how you molded the louvres of the cowlings.

I made a WnW model several years ago and I got to love this plane.

Congratulations,

Dan
