I do! Almost there... It's a bit too hot to do any modeling, but this is where I'm at.

Oh my lord... that is sweet. Like always Florin!

Another fine build! Love the prop. And base. And Blue Max medal. Cheers!

Nice and clean work! Thanx for sharing. One of my most favorite schemes on the DVII...

Great review! Great photo's..

Superb, and ballsy! But to be honest I would use plastic card layered. I think balsa may be to porous....

Cool!!

Supercool! Didn't you already sprayed Japanese Klear / Future over these?

Nice one(s) Erik!

Nice one Ralph! Hope it doesn't destroy the german part of your collection!

Thnx man!

You guys are waaaaaay too kind! And I like it Here's the (almost) finished prop: Rear side (with black): And front:

Thank you for the clarification Benoit. The Blenheim has been on top of my wishlist for a long time. (As is the Hampden). I'll wait for a little more pics and drawings and will definitely jump in when my enthusiasm is tickled a little bit more Cheers, Jeroen

Hi Cees, Good question! Just now i passed the Crash museum and noticed it had the flags up even though it's only open on saturday. I strolled in and was free to have another look at the D21 wreck. I wanted to check the colors on the props and to see if it had the Hamilton Standard prop decals on it. It doesn't. Also, the back of the prop was black with a rounded shape on the bottom: The tips were red, white and blue as provided by Silver Wings, but I believe the colors on the wreck have faded / discolored: Another thing: The gunsight on the Silver Wings part has a threaded rear base. I checked it out and it seems legit: I did some more research to see if the 214 had an aerial / radio. I have found pics of the 214 with the roundel markings where it has no aerial. But then again: i have found pics of planes with roundels where they didn't have an aerial and pics of the same planes with aerials but carrying the triangle. So I'm inclined to believe a radio was present.

I really want to finish this model this weekend... On to the weathering and small bits! Hatch (with scratched opening handle and locks): Gunsight. A challenge in itself: Somehow managed to damage the rudder. Tearing a small piece of orange decal out of the middle. Chose to fix it the original way Used two small square pieces of different shade orange decal to patch it up: Primed the prop AK gloss black (needs some more polishing I discovered). 8 resin pieces make this up: Getting there!

Nice one Ralph! You're getting pretty good at this game!!

Small update:

thnx Erik, looking at the Flevo Decals, i decided the shoe on there is way too big. In other words. I'll just use the mice. And won't place them on two sides, because that would set me back to square one, since i would need two new smaller shoe decals.

A fortunate accident. When applying the 'white mice' insignia on the left side of the cowling today i managed to mess up the decal. I forgot to seal the paint layer with Klear and one thing led to an other. I gave it some thought and had a chat with Jim. Decided to strip the cowling completely and start over. This meant I had to find a new 'White mice' decal. I found one Flevo-Decals Fokker D21 set for the old Vac form kit but it was located in a store 110 km to the east. Being nuts and impatient I jumped in my car to get the decals. When I opened the pack at home I noticed it carried White Mice decals for both the left and the right side. I always thought the replica in our national museum was wrong, which featured this as well, so assumed Flevo Decals were wrong too. After doing some research I stumbled upon this: http://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl/forums/f13-fokker/fokker-d-21-even-iets-recht-zetten-35826/ It shows the white shoe artwork was definitely present on both sides, so the white mice must have been too. Short story: Glad I: messed up / went to Eindhoven / did some more research. As you can see I already re-sprayed the cowling and this time, sealed it with Klear.

A-mazing... Respect.

Nice!!

Really nice.... Just LOVE the base..

Holy shit!!!!! Can't wait to see more! Always wanted to build a Blenheim...

Visited the National military museum today with my dad and took some crappy pics of the Fokker D.21 they have hanging from the ceiling in a low lit room............ Spotted some small details i might adjust, change, add.

Damn.. that looks immaculate. I must try this myself!
