Fokker D.VII


Recommended Posts

The Fokker D.VII entered service with the Luftstreitkrafte in 1918 and proved itself to be a highly successful fighter in combat, and over 3,000 were built.

The D.VII arrived too late for Manfred von Richthofen, but other pilots such as Goring and Lowenhart used it to score up many victories.

The D.VII was armed with 2 x 7.92mm machine guns.

I can be wrong of course but to me it seems that the roundel is wrong.

Blue must be in de left top corner, red on the right site and white at the bottom.

Maybe you have a real picture of this showed aircraft?

I admire your artistic talent but:

Your lozenge fabric pattern seems to be fictional, and you appear to assume all Fokker DVIIs had the same engine panels and louver arrangement. On the Jasta 10 machine, you painted the engine panel to appear to resemble the fabric streaking, which also looks like fiction.

The profiles in the Osprey Fokker DVII series, I trust. Your's, not so much.
