1 /48 Eduard Limited edition Fokker D.VII "Sieben Schwaben"

[Opapapa]

Ok, this one took me over an year to finish. I started with enamel paints and finished it with acrylics. I just lost my interest with this one in one part and then I just forgot the whole kit cause my stash had simply grown too big. But... looking back, I can still recommend this kit to everyone! Like every other Eduard WW1 kits. In the end it was a joy to build. Only thing is that i would go for some aftermarket stuff with the Lozenge camo decals. But here's the bird:

Superbly done.

Extremely cool stuff dude!
I love that wood work on the prop.

Sweet stuff, looks fantastic!
Is the camo on the wings a decal?
Agree the prop looks like wood, really!

[Opapapa]

Thanks guys!

Is the camo on the wings a decal?

I would love to say that this camo is a result of my exceptional masking and painting skills!
But yes, they're decals. About 4-5 larger pieces per wing. All the stripes on the wings are decals too.

Great work!! I've been considering doing a wingnut wings kit for awhile. I'm just curious, was there rigging in this particular kit? I know with wingnut you have to purchase it separately.

Thank you guys very much!

Usually you have to buy the rigging material separately. With this one (in the tail and between wheel struts) I used Ez-line. What comes to rigging, Fokker D.VII is really easy, because the wings didn't have any. I think some stretched sprue would do the trick with this one as well.
