This is the 1/48 DML model of the Fokker D.VII, all done up in the markings of Ernst Udet. The model is pretty-much finished out of the box, except for the hand-carved prop. I used the kit decals, and did quite a bit of hand-painting and airbrushing over the white portions as they turned pink when placed on the red fuselage. I used Copper State lozenge on the lower wing, and Floquil Railroad colors for the red (ATSF Red) and white (Reefer White). I rigged this model with surgical wire. The upper-wing crosses came from a FW-190 decal sheet (the crosses were white on the kit decal sheet, so sue me!). In all, alot of fun!

This is the 1/48 Koster kit of the Siemens-Schuckert D.IV. The kit is true multi-media, with vaccuform, white metal, resin, and photoetch. The model represents an aircraft flown by Ltn. Lenz, Staffelfuhrer of Jasta 22. The fuselage is dark-varnished plywood, which I replicated with oil paints. The lozenge decal is by Copper State, but all else basically comes from the kit. I rigged it with surgical wire, purchased at the IPMS Nationals. I have been working on and off with this kit for two years. It's about time it was finished!
