Colin M's 1/48 Eduard Fokker D VII (Build a Bi-plane GB)

[colin m]

It's finished. There was no drama in this build, the huge decals were fun, and a little out of register, but only on the lower side of the upper wing. Unfortunately for me, this aircraft was so strong, it didn't need rigging.















And that's it, done. Thanks to Ian for creating this GB.

Wow....that looks superb Colin :thumb2:,
A very colourful beast isn't it! I particularly like the way you've done the prop,looks excellent
(What's with the yellow cross:thinking:?)

Excellent result Colin, well done Sir.

Very nice Colin

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely result Colin. Another colourful bird. I think they must have spent longer painting them than they did flying them…..

Rigging or not, she is a really nice, colorful thang Colin!!! A beautiful finish and one to be really happy with. Front row on the shelf maybe? Or on top of the telly???...Well done Sir!!!...

What's with the yellow cross

Thanks Andy. The cross, probably just showing off. These pilots do seem to like there colours.

I think they must have spent longer painting them than they did flying them

In the early part of WW1, a pilot might only fly of around 50hrs, before meeting his maker - not enough time for the fancy paint job to dry.

Front row on the shelf maybe? Or on top of the telly???...Well done Sir!!!...

Thanks Allen. It will look a little strange mixed in with my RFC pc10 machines.

Fantastic work Colin, and thanks for joining in and making this GB possible.

My pleasure. I really enjoyed this GB. I never imagined it would be so colourful.
