D VII Starting
Show my progress today in DVII's, in picture my choices of subjects from collection:
I started cutting the fuselages, coloring the edges and build with careful to install lower wing... The cockpit is painted with Faber-Casttel color pencil... After I fold and glue with careful, fuselages, the edges is fold with tweezers (in many cases I do not use the fingers to fold) After gluing fuselages I Work in lower wings, is necessary to finish this piece and install in fuselage to close this... Continue tomorrow (maybe) |

Cool! I build one of these a few years ago, and loved the way it looked.
I happily await to see how these five versions come out, side by side! Cheers! Jim |

You have a serial assembly line there !!!
Do you not pre-score the lines before to fold ? |

Great job Gomidefilho. Gosh they are small. How do you keep all of those parts from getting mixed up? They are all nice but I think my favorite is the black one flown by Uffz Rausch.

More stpes of build...
Continue this build, I install lower wing in fuselages, the funny in FG models, is a simplicy with precision (many times not found in more sophisticated papermodels kits), and the result is very nice because a amazing John Dell Work in textures of models...
After I build the turtle decks, very simple and very precise again... In green D VII I glue in wrong place the turtle deck and need a repair but with pacience I solve the mistake... Continue... |
