Construction
Here are some photos of Eduard's beautiful Fokker DVII (O.A.W.) in
1/48 scale.
As this was my first ever biplane model, I had a few hair-raising
moments during the construction due to my inexperience in building
these types of models. While I had little difficulty with the
alignment of the wings, the undercarriage assembly was extremely
fiddly.
The rest of the construction was relatively uneventful, even for a
ham-fisted modeler like me.
The O.A.W. purple and green camouflage was hand painted with Polly
Scale paints, while everything else was airbrushed with a variety of
Tamiya and Polly Scale paints.
I cannot say enough good things about the Aviprint decals that were
inclulded in the kit. They were extremely thin but incredibly tough,
and held up beautifully to rough handling during application. I was
so impressed with the decals that I purchased three other Aviprint
sheets for other aircraft.
