If noones beat me to it, I call these two D.VIIs.

Mark Miller is one hell of an artist. Check out his 3-d artwork, some of it is mindblowing.

     Thanks Treize, that is indeed some good stuff

Great profiles of it in that book.

There are so many great profiles in this book, it is clear this skin will fill up fast.

Has anyone started Udet's D.VII with the black striped upper wing yet? If not, I'd like to reserve that, at least until I decide if I can do it justice

[Mus51]

My next two projects:

[Treize69]

Raben's D.VIII (the red and white one) should be a plain red upper surface to both wings, not that red lozenge pattern. Other than that, two nice ones, I was thinking of giving both of them a whack myself. Can't wait to see them! 

[Krusty]

Treize, I think it's supposed to be showing "bleed-through" from the underlying colors. The undersides have the lozenge pattern and the red was painted after the fact, right?

Artist's interpretation that the red would not totally cover underlying colors, is my guess.

[Motherland]

I've come to the realization that I've never seen a D.VII in a full factory finish. Does anyone have a picture or a profile of one?

[Krusty]

I didn't realize there WAS such a thing! 


EDIT: er, to answer more directly, that means "nope! not me!"

The wings and fuselage are painted with the same read dope over the same lozenge fabric, why would one be pristine and the other bleed through that bad?

[Mus51]

Treize, how about if you pick one of those two i posted and i will do the other one?

To much thinner in the mix, to stretch the dope. Oxidation on the top wing from the sun, less than technologically advanced paint systems, ie the paint was crap.
 Or a combination of all.
 All we can do is speculate. But it would make sense and its not outside the realm of realistic possibility that it did infact bleed though do to the factors I listed....

Who really knows at this point. Id say its Artist's choice on that one.

Nah, go ahead. I'm having enough trouble getting one done that I'm not going to want to do more for a while. Too many little annoying things coupled with too many distractions and RL demands on my time to spend more than a few minutes a day working on one. Its taken me a week to get my first skin about halfway done. At this rate I'd finish a second one sometime around next year.

Anyone wants to give that "Black and Yellow" checkered D VII I posted about a go, feel free.

I took a look at it and the stretching of the upper fusalage is going to give me fits doing it.. not worth the effort at this time.

You mean HTC modeled the biplanes in left/right halves? No upper/lower deck sections?

D'oh! I always liked the remodeled 109E-4 because it had a separate belly piece, something which HTC nixed on the F and later models.

It probably takes up too much room, but they devote so much time to left, right, upper, lower portions of the noses of many planes, it only makes sense that we can skin the rear fuselages as well.

Oh well, something to add to the "wish list" forum.
