Super-Detailing a WW1 Aircraft Engine (Fokker D VII F by Wingnut Wings)

Ойын-сауық

The Fokker DVII was the most superior fighter plane in the first World War so if that's not a reason to feature it on my channel then what is? The second episode will be all about the BMW engine, which - as usual with Wingnut Wings kits - is quite a handful :) Furthermore, we will paint the fuselage with its field applied signature all red scheme and the iconic LO! insignia

    Udet once said, "Without flight, there is no life". And indeed, a flyboy is all he was. He didn't care for the politics or the mundane. It is almost ironic that his life of glamour would end up where he feared the most, a desk. Some would call it fate, others might call it karma. One has to wonder if, in the end, he realized that what he should've done was leave it all behind, forgetting his past as a flyer and return to the home he had remembered so fondly. The past most only knew as "Lo!", who he was adamant be etched on every single plane he flew. If it isn't fitting that the daredevil flyboy who lost his heart in the skies of Europe, lose his life in the endless torment of politics and bureaucracy, then I don't know what is. I must humbly request that you add "Du Doch Nicht!", out of respect. A small change, but I'm sure it would mean a lot to him if he were around. I'm begging you!!! The boy who felt - and seemingly was - invincible to his enemies, but not to himself. Danke schön!

    One argument that I got into Wingnut Wings that was never resolved (they got entrenched and defensive and that was that) is that they did not provide the empty cartridge trays for the Machine guns. These can be obtained after market now but I think are a necessity for DVII's and DR 1's in 1/32nd scale as they are visible from the outside.

Otherwise, well, it's a relatively new channel and I don't publish that much and therefore I am quite happy with the reception so far. Also WW1 is still kind of a niche compared to more popular subjects like Tanks or Jets.

    'Lozenge' refers to the shape of most boiled sweets, or lozenges. Not sure how it became applied to this pattern because it's not really accurate (it refers to rectangular with smooth curved edges, generally - easy on the mouth & tongue). Stunning craft skills by the way.

    Thanks a lot. So from what I read (obviously I'm no authority on the field of this word 😅) it also describes the geometric form used in the camouflage.

    Your work is of a level I can only dream of ever reaching, how wonderful! The only bit of feedback I may have is about your music choice: I binged all your older videos and I personally think the song you use is perhaps a bit too noticeable, which gets even more noticeable when you see a few in a row. Perhaps you could switch up the music choice? I really love your vids, so please don't take this as negative feedback, just something that you may want to look into in the future :)
