Hello friends,
Another of my builds: a post-WWI Fokker D.VII of the Belgian 10ème Escadrille, circa 1919-1920.
After the War, the Armistice conditions stipulated that Germany had to deliver 100+ Fokkers D.VII to Belgium. But many of them were in bad condition and only 35 were reconditioned to be operationnaly used. The Fokkers served in Escadrilles, and finished their career at the Belgian aviation school.
The model I've build has some particularities:
- The fuselage was remade, with Dope linen
- The photo shows that some elements of other aircraft were possibly used
- The windshield comes from a Nieuport 23
- Armament was removed
I used Techmod lozenges. It's the old kit Dragon at 1/48th scale: pilot comes from PJ Production.
That kit has won many prices in different contests in Belgium...
