Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 7, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2013 Fantastic job, Jeroen. Congrats, Jamme Hi Jamme, Are you going to use a wooden prop? If so, let me know. I know just the place to order yours. Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 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. Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 10, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi Guys, Just got a parcel. Heaven sent Old propellor lozenge decals and one spoked wheel. Since I'm building this DVII with one wheel uncovered. This wheel is just.... amazing. Thnx James!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, Just got a parcel. Heaven sent Old propellor lozenge decals and one spoked wheel. Since I'm building this DVII with one wheel uncovered. This wheel is just.... amazing. Thnx James!! Wow!! That looks terrific! Do you have to build the wheel yourself or is it pre-finished? If so, it'll probably not be cheap, considering the fine work and time it'll cost to make? Oh, BTW, one spoke is crooked... On to the fietsenmaker (bicycle repair shop)...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 10, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2013 Wow!! That looks terrific! Do you have to build the wheel yourself or is it pre-finished which then probably will translate in an outlandish price? Oh, BTW, one spoke is crooked... On to the fietsenmaker... The latter. This one was free, a gift from james, but i just ordered a set of wheels for my Rumpler. About 70 euro's, but I think it's well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It certainly looks the part! But too bad that it's pre-finished. Gives me an eerie feeling that if someone throws enough cash at a WnW-kit he gets a showstopper by all the pre-finished aftermarket that only needs to be fixed to the model. Spoked wheels, wooden props... I know the old-schoolers howled the same tune when resin made it's debut to the hobby, but that at least had to be made to fit - and painted! Ah well.... You and Jeroen V. (and a score more lads!) at least show that without the parts a model can be a showstopper too...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 And i was just about to ask you to do the painting for me No problem! Be happy to! As you know I'm quite good with the airbrush. As a matter of fact, I just re-sprayed my car; it started to become somewhat lustreless: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 13, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted October 13, 2013 Painting the fuselage. First a layer of green (just to have a darker background). The the crosses and serial number. And that gets a layer of white, since these markings were overpainted. The middle section will be red, but a slightly lighter tone than the metal parts.

Administrators James H Posted October 13, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 13, 2013 Have you got a picture of the scheme. I'm struggling to envisage it. As always though, your work is excellent. Looking forward to see you doing those wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a photo of the wheel pinned and fitted into the WNW kit axel on a Roland D.VIa, just to get you excited. (mental note: Steven, time to ask Martin to pass that box of tissues to Erik). A magnificent Fokker D.VII Jeroen, I'm enjoying this build. Clearly, your model will be a show-stopper with an excellent choice of after-market additions to enhance the aircraft (love that Doug Craner propeller). Your Rumpler spoked wheels were finished today (Fri 18 Oct) and I hope you'll show all the bears a build log on this one as well. Happy Landings Steven, in the Land of Oz Think I'll have to tease Erik with a set of Eindecker spoked wheels. Edited October 20, 2013 by Erik B. After consultation with Steven we BOTH decided to change our postings because they conveyed another message than we wanted to send 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
