    A project that brings something new and lots of opportunity to learn for me is this edition of Eduard's Fokker D.VII.
    I will use the turnbuckles from Gaspatch, the lozenge decals of the kit I have exchanged for matching ones from the manufacturer Aviattic. A swap that is worthwhile! To illustrate this, I attach a comparison photo; "the better is the enemy of the good", as they say...

    Perhaps the best artwork of WW1 airplanes, the 7 dwarfs was my debut project with WnW kit. By the images your model will be awesome

    Fantastic work done, Roland.
    Detailing on the interior and engine is very nice.

    The "Sieben Schwaben" D VII is slowly but surely approaching completion - I'm already curious to see how the upper wing will turn out!

    Thank you very much Erik, Tom, Spiros and John!
    In fact, I managed to finish the "Swabian" D.VII yesterday. Eduard's kit really spoils the modeller, so this will not be the last D.VII. Finally, I'll show you three pictures of the "Seven Swabians", a more detailed series of pictures should be available as a new post in the gallery as soon as possible.
