ByronLeal Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi!! this year I would like to build a 1/48 Fokker D VII from Roden, I already have the kit; now, the problem that I have is with the lozenge, I have read some articles, blogs and how to, but still do not get it. regarding decals what would be my best option taking in account that I maybe will do 3 WWI planes at the most. what are the best decals on the market, and by best I mean trouble free.

They are mighty thin to allow for some pre-shading, and the service from the UK was fast. http://www.aviattic.co.uk/148-fokker-dvii.html Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Keep in mind that many (most?) D.VII's had the upper lozenge overcoated with a brownish glaze. Here's how I tried to replicate this. Used a dilute brown sprayed over the WNW lozenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Used a dilute brown sprayed over the WNW lozenge. That looks great, I have got to get some of these decals. Quick question. I have the Dragon kit and a P.E. set for the Rhoden kit. Would they be compatible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
