Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 15, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 15, 2013 It's OK now, but I had a bulge on one side, which caused the upper deck to Not fit. AND there is a fault in the instructions. It gives the wrong number for the left engine cover. So I took a guess and painted the wrong part. Ah well...
Jamme Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Wowwwwwww, Jeroen. Completely missed this build. Found it looking at the entries in the GB. Congrats for the job, like your seat and the engine...... Cheers, Jamme 1
Grant Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Good catch Jeroen. It's looking really good to me - but then again, all your builds do.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 21, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 21, 2013 Hi Guys, Here's a pic of the wooden prop i had made by Doug Craner again. I left it unvarnished and hub-less. I'll first apply the prop decals, then varnish myself and then place the HGW hubs. So there. http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o688/jeroenpeters75/fokker%20DVII/IMGP7625_zps65bc2dfc.jpg 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 21, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 21, 2013 This will be more than enough Jeroen, no need for more these days. Martin. Actually.... I might.... 1
Administrators James H Posted September 21, 2013 Administrators Posted September 21, 2013 You have your solution
Umlaufmotor Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 WOW, the propeller looks great. The spoked wheels also. ....................... do not forget the air valves on the rims. Servus Bertl
Grant Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Those are gorgeous .. Both the prop and the wheels are almost modelling porn!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 22, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 22, 2013 Hi Grant, It is! All this HGW PE really slows you down. You can only respect the added detail of the service details after painting. It eliminates the moulded on look.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 22, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 22, 2013 And getting ready to close it all up. I will leave one cowling plate off and leave one wheel without covering, showing the spokes. 2
Administrators James H Posted September 22, 2013 Administrators Posted September 22, 2013 Not finished yet? I've always been in two minds about the surface detail part of the HGW sets. The moulded plastic looks sharp enough to me, so I look forward to seeing this with some loz and paint.
Steven Robson Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Yes, this is a magnificent build on the Fokker D.VII Jeroen. I'll be watching this one from the land of OZ. I also like Doug Craner's props, he does excellent work. Happy Landings Steven Robson p.s. I have lots of wheel porn for Grant, oh, only if he's over 18. p.p.s. Someone please give Martin a tissue. 3

The AK Interactive chipping agent leaves far smaller and more delicate chips than hairspray can achieve. Here with some oil. Next up: painting the fasteners Brass (not copper James!) and the leather combing. 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 22, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 22, 2013 Got the deck on and to fit. The side wall had a slight bulge, but managed to get rid of it. 1
Umlaufmotor Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I like the chipping on the upper fairing, looks very convincing. Servus Bertl 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 30, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 30, 2013 Thnx Martin, Jamme, Bertl!! And here's the prop progress on my own prop. I worked it over with varnish. Polished it, varnished it, polished it. Just added the two Niendorf decals and working on the hub now. Needs one more part. Then one more thin coat of varnish to close the decals in and one more polish. (No, the hub is not glued yet 1
Grant Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 More modelling porn !!! (I'm only slightly over 18 years Steven, so I reckon I'm allowed to watch after the watershed ) This a great stuff Jeroen as always - time after time you produce "Top Title" worthy models is now becoming sickening - would you please make a mistake to prove you are mortal afteral !!!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 6, 2013 Author Administrators Posted October 6, 2013 Hi Grant, Yesterday I was really struggling with the fit of the cowling. All my own doing I must add. Some extra weathering in certain areas will obscure my mistake. I hope.. Here's where I was going for with the prop. Shiny, but not too shiny. Added a little bit of Tamiya yellow to the varnish. Thnx James! 1
Administrators James H Posted October 6, 2013 Administrators Posted October 6, 2013 Loving that finish and the HGW hub. Surely into the final straits soon? You should do a DH.2 to follow this
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 6, 2013 Author Administrators Posted October 6, 2013 Thnx james, I started some base paint on the rear fuse. It will be white. Discovered the seam was not completely gone yet.... 1
Administrators James H Posted October 6, 2013 Administrators Posted October 6, 2013 Your D.VII is without doubt the finest on LSM at the moment, and certainly the only one worthy of a reply. You are a GOD! 1
