World War One Whifs

[stevehed]

Can I ask, is this a general place to dump WW1 whifs or is it a gallery for your builds, Steve? 

At first, it was a gallery or build thread for my WW1 whifs. However, I don't have a problem with related subjects being aired. WW1 whifs are a rarity and most other builders have posted separately but I wouldn't object to other builders posting here.

Here's the full scale version. I did consider building it in 1/72 using plastic card and printed decals but decided against it.

That looks like something the Russians would field as a drone counter measure in Ukraine today.

Don't give them ideas.

Back to the current build and, at least in my case, some slightly more achievable patterns. Progress so far has evolved around the application of lozenge. The fuselage internals are comprised of a floor, bulkheads, seats and crew. I'm going for a rounded nose cowling rather than the frontal radiator. Couple of layers of shaped 80thou card. The S-6 had a leading edge radiator which I think I'll go for instead. The lozenge has been tricky because of the thinness. It has a tendency to fold over but it adheres quickly and it pretty tough. I've not had many breakages at all. Got some old Esci Fokker DVII Balkan crosses which have been dowsed with decal fix. Fingers crossed but I've got some alternatives if they break up.

Dude that's looking great 👍
The totally insane part of me thinks that I could spray that sort of camo ..the not total insane part of me is telling the other part to piss off 🙃

Sooner you than me. I have once painted the plain lozenge sheets that came with the Revell Fokker DVII. Never again.

I have been thinking and as you guys are well aware that's never a good idea most of the time in our game and this idea and temptation are let's say...starting to take root 😀 😉
Now I'm thinking ..bad idea again...of how to go about doing it and there's very likely a very helpful cheat I can use if I could remember where I saw it .🤔
