Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hi Jamme, Lovely pit! Much cleaner work than mine. Be careful glueing this to the fuse. You may want to scrape paint from the outer frame in order to make it fit properly. I had a lot of work yesterday getting the top panel to fit...

Jamme Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 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. Comments and questions always welcome. Cheers, Jamme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 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, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hey Jamme, Good to see your D.VII here too! I really like your woodgrain. Although the woodgrain by Uschi's decals or as handpainted by David Parker looks really stunning, the "simpler" grain as painted by you or as advised by WnW is more "in-scale". I also like the shading and oilyness you did on the fuel tank, firewall and ammo bins. Also the shading on the seat cushion and the rigging on the internal frames is very nice! I'm looking forward to your next installment. Cheers, Erik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 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" Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 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....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 I then go to next part. Glued the piece in place and glued the bottom of the fuselage: That's it for the moment. Thank you for looking. Questions and/or Constructive comments always welcome. Cheers, Jamme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Wow, you're really cracking on with this build Jamme. Looks very nice, I like your colour modulation. In all the Wingnut Wings builds I've seen, I've yet to read "the fit was a bit poor but .... " That's amazing quality control in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi Grant. Those WNW kits are very well engineered, indeed. But you have to be very careful cleaning of paint where the surfaces glued together. I think that's the rule Nr 1 Thank you for the nice comment, Grant.

Woodshedwings Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 That is looking superb sir, really coming together nicely. The engine looks the business. Are you adding ignition wires? I have just done one bank of cylinders on the Falcon engine on my Bristol Fighter and while it was fiddly as hell, it really adds to the authentic look of the thing. Keep up the good work. Mike.

Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Mike. Thank you for looking and for the nice comment. As this build is an OOB build Review, I will ad as less as possible. Sure the ignition wires ad's a lot. Congrats for your build ! cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2013 Great work Jamme. Will you be visiting the Scale Model Challenge meeting in Velthoven? HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thank you Jeroen for the nice comment. I will not go to Velthoven as I have no car.....for the moment. Have a nice day there with Jeroen V and other Dutchmen. Drink one (or more) Heineken to my Health. Oh, and by the way...... Belgium is qualified for the Soccer Mondial next year in Brazil!

One-Oh-Four Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Congrats on the Rode Duivels, Jamme! BTW; are you from the Dutch- or French speaking part of Belgium?

Jamme Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello to everybody. It's time for a little UP ! Still on page 13 of the instructions (Fuselage) Here are the parts needed: Nothing special, parts fit is really good: Here is the finished radiator: Finished parts and assembled: Radiator assembly is then glued on the frame: Now I go to page 14 (Cockpit Coaming) The parts: The holes have been made and the parts (2) assembled. I didn't put the windscreen yet nor the machine guns, as I have to paint the fuselage first. I go now to page 15 of the instructions (Engine cowl panels) Following the version, be careful to choose the good ones! The parts: Painted the inside of the parts that the gap must be filled: Left parts painted and clear to be fixed: That's it for today. Thank you for looking.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 15, 2013 Dammit Jamme... You're doing a better job than I am! I don't think it's allowed to build better than staff members around here. I need to check the rules.. Should have them somewhere. Seriously: Great work on the inside of the cowling. Is that a small strip on Greencard on the edges of the side cowlings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello Jeroen. Thank you for the very, very nice comment, but I'm not a "top" modeler. I learned much of the techniques on forums, books and seeing other modelers buildings. I think I'm an average modeler, that's it. To answer your question: Yes it's a small strip of Evergeen that I glued on the side cowling. The instructions says "fill Gap" depending which version you build. I dry fitted the part, and there was enough place to put the strip, But...... Be careful, to dry fit ALL the cowling parts before doing this, because the smallest error, and the rest doesn't fit anymore. Hope this helps.

Your name has a more Flemish ring to it but now I presume you'll pronounce it as "Zjamm" instead of "Yammûh" as I thought. Of course it doesn't matter a bit really, although I find when visiting shows around Antwerp and Ransart etc. that I can speak more easily to most Flemish guys, because my French is so bad. I still have a CD-course in French lying around somewhere but since you see I cannot seem to find the time to finish my models, you can understand I find absolutely no time at all for a language course! Although it would be nice; being able to read "Steel Masters" etc. Hmmmm..... Je suis, tu est, ils sont........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
