Here is my Fokker DVIII from Dragon. I built this
kit straight from the box except for the rigging made from silver
sprue. The special story with this kit is that I built
it, and striped it, three times, in fact it was buried in my spare-parts
box for two years. So four months ago I was searching for a tiny
piece in this box and I was struck by the parasol
wing and I told myself MMMM!!!??? why not try again!
Since
a had no decals for it, I choose to paint much of the decoration and I found
some German crosses on an Aeromaster sheet for the DVII.
This plane was piloted by
Theo Osterkamps in 1918 and he was shot down in it by two French
Spad XIII "one of many times". He never scored any
victories with this plane which is not surprising, it must have made a
fine target in these colors.
