This is not a joke even if it looks like one. I bought three 1/72 scale Fokker Dr.1 and a Fokker D.VII from Revell and brought out the saw.
|
| I cut up the Dr.1 wings and put them together again. Now with a larger span. The cuts are marked on the picture. |
| I also had to mix the fuselages from the two kits. The forward part is from the D.VII and the rear from a Dr.1. |
| Then it was time to start adding some wings. |
| I needed to scratch build the engine panels. |
|
After that more wings and some wheels were added Next on the list are some struts for the top wing. Oh, I almost forgot. It is a Fokker V.8. It did actually fly. Anthony Fokker few it once, did some reconstructions and tried it a second time. After this test he ordered it to be scrapped. |
| I wasn't happy with the result of my build, so I removed the three wings at the front and mowed them forward. I also moved the middle wing up so that there would be the same distance between all wings. While I was at it I also adjusted the angle of the top of the rear wings, so this is how it looked like before painting with all struts in place. |
| The finished plane painted and with decals. |
