[Today's UP 27/10 - Fokker D.VII F Wingnutwings 1/32 Kit Nr. 32031]

Hi Everybody.

As I had a little time today, I worked a little bit on the Fokker.......

So time for an UP!

Starting with the fuselage (Instructions page 13)

The components:

 

I painted the inside of the fuselages with Tamiya XF-60, added a clear coat and put the decals in place:

 

I diluted very much (1/9) XF-57 and passed over the decals to give a discolored effect:

 

I then used XF-1 very diluted (1/9) XF-1 to give a little more depth:

 

I know that not much would be seen when the fuse is closed, but I had the pleasure to do it, and that is the most important thing, isn't it.

Fuse is now ready to accept his interior.

Fit was very good:

 

 

 

Glued the fuse together as per the instructions (only the top)

 

 

As i said above fit is ok. and I made a little pics from what you will see from the pit when the fuselage is closed.

 

 

 

And the engine:

 

Back in a few minutes.......

Hi Jeroen.

I'm going to use the box propeller, as it is a "Build Review" OOB.

But if I build another WWI plane, I surely will contact you.

Thank you anyway.

Thank you for the really nice comment, Erik.

I believe the "oil painting" gives a more "natural" effect and as you say you can make it more "in scale"

Jamme

Now the second UP!

I started the engine (page 11 from the instructions.

Here are the parts used:

 

Block is painted using Gunze colors and varnishes (Clear and Matt to give somme effects in the colors)

 

 

And my Valejo Brass:

 

Block is assembled and weathered:

 

Cylinders are assembled, painted and put in place with the other small pieces:

 

 

 

 

I then weathered it a little more (I believe it's a little too much, but not much will be seen when the kit will be finished:

 

Voilà, I now will put the fuselage together, but it is for the next UP.

Thank you for looking.

Cheers,

Thank you for the nice comment and the advice concerning the top panel.

I already saw the problem as I'm much further than what I posted......

I removed a part of the centering pins that are under the panel and it fits much better.

OK, now it's time for a little UP!

Here are the parts to finish the cockpit (Page 5 and 6 from the instructions)

 

Started painting the IP with Tamiya XF-59:

 

I then painted it with the same oils I already used and detailed small Items with different Valejo colors and Tamiya varnish.

A pic from the finished IP:

 

The compass was painted using Brass from Valejo and given a Dark Wash:

 

Those are the parts used for the fronf frame.

 

They are glued tighter and in place, then painted (XF-21) and given a wash.

Here is the interior ready to be put in the fuselage:

 

 

 

 

The front frame:

 

 

 

That's it.

Thank you for looking.

Well, it does suspiciously look like a Starfighter. Like it.

Would look great in Dutch colours.

[Airbrushing Clinic, advice for my first efforts.....]

In my experiences with Tamiya acrylics, you can't push dilution ratios as far with IPA as you can with LT...

Heeeuuuuuu........

What is IPA and LT, please?

Sorry for the stupid question....

Cheers,

Jamme.

Hi Everybody.

Time for a little UP!

Following the instructions, I painted the frames and accessories that are fixed on them with the following colors:

 

 

I then use EZ Line (the finest) to make the reinforcing cables. I painted them when installed with Testor's Aluminium Metalizer:

 

Here are the finished frames, ready to be assembled:

 

I then started the seat belts.

I warmed the pieces with a warm hot gun:

 

I painted the belts in off white and installed them on the seat:

 

Always following the instructions, I began the assembly of the parts on the frames,

First comes the seat:

 

Then added the floor:

 

And then finally the fuel tank and ammunition boxes:

 

 

Back in a few minutes.........
