Morning All, A small update for you today.I'm been out of the Country due to family business and a general lack of time as well.So on with the update. Work has begun on the interior details. The upside down airfame. Cockpit floor and fuselage side pieces. :lol: Only took two redoes Lozenge decals applied to the interior of the fuselage halves.I using Doug Bauman's excellent Lozenge Decals. [i Now for the really fun bits, Frankenwing is now completed. If you at the underside of just about any Fokker E.V/D.VIII you'll notice it's far from perfectly smooth as you would expec

Ken, Congratulations on completing your first WWI model. Top it off with it looks very good too. The only thing I would add that's even half way negative would be your wood graining around the cockpit.It tough to get it just right sometimes even for someone who has done it many times and redone it nearly as often.No doubt you'll get there if you hang in there . Check out some of the WWI modeling site on the web you'll find a wealth of information and build tips as well. I wish all this data was available when I build my first WWI kit sure would have been much easier than years of trial and

Aaron, Excellent paint work.Love the old school way of applying the camouflage. Great project,you fella's working in 1/72 scale are amazing. Regards, Gregory Jouette

Helidriver, Your Sopwith is coming along nicely.Don't be afraid of the rigging,just take your time you'll do fine. You've picked a desent and relatively inexpensive kit to learn on which is the best way to go. Get a couple bi planes under your belt and you'll be building wingnuts or Rodens kit before you know it. Regards, Gregory Jouette A long time WW I Modeler

Jeff, Truely amazing build my friend.Love that plywood finish too. Regards, Gregory Jouette

Ken, Your little Nieuport bebe is looking great my friend. Regards, Gregory Jouette

Wing Construction............................. Using information from the November 1989 Fine scale Modeler as a guide,the first bit of business was to transfer the FSM drawings to the supplied kit parts with carbon paper.I should note that in this conversion you will be using all three wing from the Dr.I kit to make up the single wing of the E.V / D.VIII.Once all the pieces are cut out it's really like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Now on with the Frankenwing construction photos. Left side panel pieces not shown are the right side panel,both side are identical except for they are Handed

I finally found some much needed modeling time last week end.So here goes This is the donor kit for this conversion project the Revell 1966 Edition of the Fokker Dr.I in 1/28 scale.This new project is to convert the Fokker Dr.I to a Fokker E.V/D.VIII.Always any and all commits are much appreciated. I'll attempt to give you a sort of running commentary as I go . In this photo I've made the first cuts to the fuselage.Both halves were cut straight across the lower section to correct the profile to that of a Fokker E.V / D.VIII With the fuselage halves cut down you need to increase the dep

Brad, Neat little diorama.Moves are rough on Nieuport you know.Great work and quick order too. Regards, Gregory Jouette
