Hi all, I've applied the 'Aviattic' linen effect lozenge to the first Fokker D.VII now. Under the decals, although it's difficult to see in the shots, is pre-shading. I've yet to apply the kit decals and weather it all in, Mike

Hi all, The fuselage sides and top decking had a brown glaze applied, but nowhere else on the aircraft. I've added that and now I'll add the personal and national markings, Mike

Hi all, Well this model for the Fokker D.VII pair is completed. I'll post shots of this one in the appropriate thread here at the forum.
