Hey all, this is my entry for the 2022 Dawn Patrol.
Fokker D.VII at 1/6 scale, which equates to 47" wingspan (47" is actually wrong, 1/6 is 58". I'll see how the first version turns out and maybe make a real 1/6 after the first version is competed). I'm keeping it pretty scale, but I am making a few sacrifices. Enlarged the rudder by about 15 percent, went with a straight nose instead of a nose that tapers near the prop (from the top view), and the prop probably will be higher up than the full scale.
I'm hoping to add scale details though, like machine guns and the engine cylinders. Also will be experimenting a little to get a good 5-color lozenge pattern for the bottoms of the wings and tailplane.
Paint scheme will be 40-victory ace Rudolph Berthold
