Some wires to add. Rudder control cables. I believe that's it!

Aaaaalmost done! Added the antenna. Flaps. Cowling. Gunsight. Etc... Painted nav lights. Almost spilled a whole bottle of AK red transparent paint all over the model...

Amazing stuff! Did you scratch the stands?

OCD-porn

I am! On transport. With separate wing and engine.

There's only one thing you need to concern about: getting me a piece of that metal!

Not going to put the jigs on a train, but plain on a wooden base. I can picture it perfectly...

Hi Guys, Nearly finished the Fokker D21 and stalling with my Mossie build I got distracted by Jim. He's donating a piece of metal from his Ju-88C-2 WNr.0880133 '4D+FH', KNOWING stuff like that puts me off balance!! Anyway... I got the CMK conversion for the nose. Bought an Eduard interior set today, found some window masks (inside and outside), and got some HGW seat belts. The kit is traded and is underway (thnx Winston!). I will build this kit in an un-conventional way. With separate wings and engine nacelle. The fuselage will be separate, on transport jigs on a long wooden base. I have drawn the transport jigs in my 3D program and will have the 3D printed: Here's the forward jig: And here's the rear jig: And this is how it's supposed to go: Stay tuned!

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!!
