Roden 1/32 Fokker D.VI, Part 1- Cockpit 

thank you so much!!!

Thanks

Thanks, the part 2, will be soon, I have some issues with lozenge decals (why I'm not surprised...)

@@FlyingCircusModels BTW...the LMG airplane jig finally arrived (8 weeks later). As the instructions aren't that clear, I followed you on YT when building mine, so thank you for sharing that.

Finally!!!

:-)

ohhh, that decal problem... I have no problems so far with this kit, but Roden is famous for a poor decal quality. I recommend you to check decals from the kit very carefully, under different angles, and if they have a lot of cracks - just use aftermarket ones. Also, it's always good to cover your Roden decals with a gloss coat and use them after, but in this case you will need to cut them precisely by their edges

Thanks David, I'm going to build my D.VII in summer, hope your project will be great

Thanks Mark, no pilot is not my thing, I can leave it to you))

Thank you Michael

Thank you so much, Stephen!!!

Thanks Steve, I don't have, only CPR training, I wanted to be a surgeon, but work for the bank 😀

Thank you Paolo, I used a very old oil paint, that I bought more than 15 years ago, the name of a brand is Nevskaya Palitra - it's a ruzzian paint (shame on me), but you can use any other brand, as long as it's an oil paint. The colors I usually use are: raw umber, burnt umber, yellow ochre, Indian red, the color depends on the wood effect you want to have. Try to practice and you can paint it as well, good luck

Thank you Rick

Thank you Steven

Thanks

Thanks Mike

Thank you Stanislav, I already did it, one of the fist videos on the channel

@@FlyingCircusModels aha 😂,,, So something else...

I already have a plan of my builds till the end of this year, so, perhaps, I will build it next year ;-)

it's some kind of all purpose super glue - Krazy glue (the spelling is correct lol ). I bought in the Canadian Dollarstore

@@FlyingCircusModels Hi Oleg, many thanks for your reply. Can Ii take the opportunity to ask a few questions about the decaling as I have never done lozenge decals before. Firstly it seems from the video that you put the decals on to the bare plastic with Microsol and no primer. Is that correct ? Secondly it looks like you have applied the upper surface wing decal before the lower surface. Is that correct? Lastly how do you locate the strut placement holes once they are covered over by a decal. Many Thanks

Sure, William, I'm happy to help with answers. 1. Perhaps i lost it in the video, but the model was covered with the grey Primer - Mr.Surfacer 1000, after I used a wet 600 grid sandpaper, then MicroSol and decals. 2. It doesn't matter which surface to do first, upper or lower, so you can start from either side. 3. After using Set/Sol solution decals will repeat the plastic surface, so you will see holes for struts and plastic ribs. Hope this will help

@@FlyingCircusModels Many Thanks Oleg, it looks like this biplane has rigging only on the undercarriage and the lines to the tail control surfaces like the DV11,which is good

@@williamhillocks7518 no problem, at all. Yes, late Fokkers had very little amount of rigging, that's why hey are preferred planes if you just starting to build WW1 models

Thanks, yeah I know that, it was just easier to attach them on the model, but great job in noticing that ;-)

I will do my best to make it as a show stopper lol

Thanks, from my knowledge they were in a "home defense" and the vast majority were just shot down and the rest captured after the war. No surprise, with only 60 produced
