I'm a blue Fokker.

[Cazzie]

So I did did a "blue" Fokker D.VII using Stuart's masterpiece. Thanks to Mike Wilson and Huub Vink for their paints that gave me a clue on certain alignments, which I have no clue to! :isadizzy:

This OAW-built D.VII (I know the cowl panels should be different) was flown by Ltn. Hans Jungwirth of Jasta 78b. I haven't worked up a package yet, but shall tomorrow after I return from an early morning dentist visit.

Now that's a pretty one! As usual waiting for the paint to dry. :ernae:

You're a blue Fokker? I always though there was something weird about you :costumes: :costumes: :costumes:.

Enjoy your birthday mate and thanks for your company and all the things we share!

Cazzie,

Do you have any reference for the mauve on the nose? On most profiles it is quite dark and when I look at the attached picture I think they might be right....

Cheers,
Huub

Not a bit Huub. Most OAW D.VIIs were factory painted Dark Olive with Mauve hexagons. I still need to play with the Jasta 78b front colors, they appear black and gray or aluminum like your b & w.

I have been working all morning and finally have the upper wing about there on the lozenge according to the anthology. I have to work a little on the ailerons.

Caz,

The D-VIIs on the B&W picture should be brand new AOW built aircrafts readly to leave the factory. So the "colours" that you see should be olive green and mauve......

I really like the "hand painted" effect on the butterfly and double bands!

Gee Caz, I didn't know it was your birthday... hope you have a good one.

Nice paint on Stuart's Fokker D.VII, BTW.
