Josef Jacobs' Fokker DVII, 1918

1/32 scale kit from Wingnut Wings. Figure is from Cockpit Wings and sculpted by Steve Warrilow. Lozenge decals are from Aviattic. Thanks to my Chicago Club buddies John and Dave for their help and encouragement throughout the build.

Finished Fokker and Pilot

Fokker DVII as flown by Lt. Josef Jacobs, 1918. More photos to follow.

Chicago Show

I earned a Gold medal for this figure at the Chicago Show. Displayed my DVII also and will post pics soon.

Nearing the finish line....

The end is in site! A couple more pieces of rigging, the prop, and finish the base. Click on the picture to enlarge.

Struts...

Working on installing the struts. Pics aren't the greatest but you get the idea.

Pilot

I am still plugging away at the DVII and am also working on a pilot figure that will be standing next to the fuselage. Representing Lt. Jacobs will be this figure from Cockpit Wings, sculpted by my old friend Steve Warrilow. Still have to finish the face, buttons, cap and goggles along with a couple more finishing touches.
