Der Red Baron Fokker D.VII in 1918.
« on: November 21, 2014, 03:26:28 AM »
Der Red Baron would be flying a Fokker D.VII in 1918.

Four hour plus OOB build, adding a FROG seat and the decals from the current RofG boxing. All tarted up with a brush-coat of Testors Flat Red.

Adios, Larry,

Very plausible... but putting the Baron Manfred von Richtofen in a D.VII or a D.VIII is a nasty thought.

Bad enough in a tripe... but in a truly superior fighter? He would rack up kills pretty quick.

A great, if a little chilling Whiff :D Silver Fox is correct about Richtofen being able to rack up kills in it ......

Wish I'd thought of it.

Well Richtofen did fly the prototypes and was full of praise for it (after modifications were made), so one can assume they would have made it to his unit.  His brother Lothar certainly did fly it in combat.

der Baron Rot survived both World wars & went on to advise aircraft companies on better design ideas.  He particularly worked with companies in Occupied France like Airbus ........

Hi, T. T.  I paint almost everything by hand, mostly freehand.
The exception is I sometimes use rattle-can white primer. I don't own an airbrush. Adios, Larry.

Wow that's one of the cleanest, sharpest D.VIIs I've seen in a while!

I've got to tip my hat to you for coming up with such a great idea, Larry!

Pure eye-candy!

Great work CSMO, I love it ...what if... the Baron survived?
Would he join the craze that flooded Germany after WW1 as many of his comrades did?

Beautiful work, food for thought!

BTW the work on the model looks great and your ideas about airbrushing are the same I have!!!!
