Super-Detailing a WW1 Aircraft Engine (Fokker D VII F by Wingnut Wings)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ส.ค. 2024
- 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

Wow...I have several wing nut kits...just watching what you have done I hope to replicate 😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks Roy! Try not to replicate the gap between the cowling parts :)
Just discovered your Nieuport and this Fokker. Your work is astounding. I think i will think of lozenge as lotz-enger whenever it comes up.
Hi Jonathan, Happy you took something from the video even if it's just a cringe-inducing pronunciation 😅 but seriously, thanks for your feedback and happy modelling!
I fear that your background music will be playing in the back of my mind as I go through my day 🤣🤣🤣 Love these videos of yours
Hahaha 😂 sorry ( and thanks for your kind words)
Very nice work! The whimsical music in the background really makes this video a pleasure to watch.
Thanks, I had hoped to pick something that plays nicely in the background without distracting too much from the actual content. Glad you like it
"They break just by looking at them" You sir made me laugh out loud
🤣 well it's not too far from the truth
Please make more videos! I just got into ww1 planes after building pretty much every ww2 kit.. you are so talented!
Thank you so much. I'm currently figuring out a "master plan" to get out more videos. I will soon be back, promised :)
I always add a tad bit of ground orange chalk to my last layer of rust colors in order to give it a slight texture as well. Works awesome.
Yes I have some pastels that I use for this as well though mostly on tank exhausts
Just high quality work. I love the red. Makes me want to break out my Fokker kit I got from Andy's Hobby Headquarters.
Go for it, there are too nice to sleep in the stash 😅
I’ve had a Fokker Dr.1 triplane kit from Revell for about 4 or 5 years in my backlog. This video makes me really want to build it now haha!
Go for it :) and thanks for your feedback!
There's 'good', 'really good', 'excellent' and your work appears to be 'remarkable'.
I have not been one to make a WWI aircraft, but after seeing this, I may want to take a shot at it. Actually, at my age and the aircraft in my stash, I may not make it. But maybe I will have to rearrange my priorities.
Beautiful work and thanks for the tips.
Thanks a lot John and you know, there's always enough room for one more kit in the stash ;)
a TINY support for your GREAT work, surely worth every cent. Eagerly waiting for your completion of the FOKKER in the next clip.
Thanks a lot, that's very generous and well appreciated
World Champion class skills! Honestly!
Wow, thank you 😊
Your work is truly inspiring. I watched all of your videos. The engine builds are my favourite. I really like working with engines.
I've learnt a lot, and I'm going to use these new techniques in my future builds on my channel. So keep goin; I'm waiting for your next video.
...and, of course, you have a new subscriber... 🙂
Yes same here, shame they are covered up completely so often. The Fokker allows some good views though. Thanks for subscribing!
Yes, multiple watches, so much to learn.
The word 'lozenge' is used for a symbol in the Navigation Display in modern aviation.
I find your video very well done and of course the scale model too!
Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you liked it. Also I'm now even more amazed about the ambiguity of the word lozenge 😅
@@TheAlleyman the word really sucks!
The engine alone is its own work of art. Another beautiful build!
Thanks a lot, thankfully the Taurus sparks were some real time savers
Excellent 🎉 look forward to the next instalment
Thanks a lot, trying not to make you guys wait for too long
Каким терпением надо обладать, что бы заниматься этим творчеством. ВЫ мастер.
Thank you so much Eugene!
LOVE your concise work and your great sense of humor.
Thanks :)
Very Impressive, I'm enjoying your fun approach.
Thanks Nicholas, glad to hear you liked it
Yes, well worth the wait, I still think 20 minutes of your superb modelling is not long enough 👏👏👏
Thanks Tony, if I look on some of my future projects I will definitely stretch the 20 minutes mark at least occasionally
Nice engine ! I have to get those taurus details for next project. I build my own sparks plug for my current Pfalz. Easy to do but long ! Having used the same decals they work quite better on a gloss coat as you did
Really nice video again !
Thanks Francis, I used to scratch build my spark plugs for all my previous projects but the Taurus ones are really spoopy convenient.
Man, I miss your further content, Herr Alleyman. Best in the business! (IMHO).
Thanks a lot man! I've picked up working on the Fokker again, so I hope I can release something in the not so far future.
Goodness. You take detail to a whole new level. Just within the first five minutes, I have learned a lot - including to stay clear of larger scales that require that much detail - lol. I saw a comment on your music choice. Another compliment. It is not intrusive over your speech nor annoying, yet not boring either. Nice job!
Thanks mate. Yes the large scale planes can be a handful (see my current hiatus). On the other hand, the 1/32 WW1 planes are not much larger than an 1/48 WW2 fighter.
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.
Nobody's perfect not even WNW. Who's offering the aftermarket cartridge trays? Never saw them anywhere
Love to see you build a Sopwith Camel.
Spoiler alert: that's actually a very strong contender for my next build
That looks amazing. I can't wait for the next episode
Thanks Duke, I'm hurrying 😅
Just found your channel, and thoroughly enjoyed both of the WNW Fokker videos. Looking forward to now watching your Nieuport XVII series, as well as anything else you put up here. I really like your explanations of what you are doing, as well as the subtle humor spread throughout the video. Bravo!
Thanks a lot Frank, happy to have you onboard. Hope you enjoy the Nieuport build :)
Just discovered your channel and I’m hoping that you’ll pick up where you left off and post more videos! Your skills are amazing but more importantly, you do a great job of demonstrating them and illustrating your techniques. This and the professional quality of your videos makes them such a pleasure to watch. Please come back!
Thanks mate! While my last upload has been a while, I'm still looking at the Fokker everyday and I want to finish it before the end of the year.
Gorgeous. Happy to have discovered your channel!
Thanks a lot and welcome aboard 😊
Alleyman, you did it again - can' t wait to watch your new clip NOW. ;-)))
It might take me a while ;)
Remarkable. Too bad Wingnut Wings went out of business. Their models were the absolute best.
Thanks Forrest. It's indeed sad that WNW went out of business but I can only recommend Copper State Models, they deliver the same quality in any aspect except for catalogue size but they are continuously working on that one.
Yes but the molds might end up with a manufacturer
@@chrisriff-raf2069 I have no idea but if they have I hope they do some runs with them
I expect the finished result to actually fly, it just looks so real
Thanks a lot. Though it'll likely not take off since I didn't connect the engine properly 😁
But only with a real miniature pilot, also built by alleyman...lol
In Denver Colorado USA at the wings over the Rockies Air museum they have artifacts from world war German aircraft and there's examples of this camouflage in the case in color out of the sunlight so it doesn't have UV damage. If you travel here or live here it's worth looking at.
Unfortunately I'm nowhere near Colorado but if I ever go there, I need to make a stop. Thanks for the hint!
@@TheAlleymanand if anybody viewing your video catches it's worth seeing about flying suits machine guns all the stuff the guys used and parts of the aircraft rudders and some of the cloth. A lot of old pics too
The machine guns look very convincing! Nice
Work!
Thanks Mike! Happy to hear :)
Klasse Anleitung. Da bekommt man Lust zum selber bauen. Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Clip😊
Geht mir genau so! Nur wäre das Ergebnis wahrscheinlich nicht so toll. Also besser noch ein paar Alleyman-Clips ansehen.
Danke :)
This is my first time watching one of your videos and you have picked up another subscriber! I really enjoyed your honesty when using extremely fine drill bits. Carbide has no play before it breaks. I have broken many myself over the years.
Thanks Scott and yeah my bench is a graveyard for micro drill bits as well
Another amazing video. I can’t say enough nice things about the video quality, your sense of humour and particularly your builds. Your attention to detail is mind blowing. I just wish the video was 2 hrs long. I can’t get enough of it.
Wow thanks a lot Bob, I really appreciate your words.
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!
Thanks for the interesting extra information. I really appreciate that you care about the political, ethical - or simply personal - context of the modelling.
"Living History"
How is this channel still so underated? You deserve a shout-out from one of the bigger modeling TH-camrs, cuase damn is your work and video production amazing.
Thanks a lot, that's really encouraging to hear. To be fair, LPJ models gave me a shout out after my second video already and it helped the channel quite a lot. 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.
I absolutely agree.
Just discovered your channel. Your work is excellent, but what really impressed me was your clear and engaging explanations of what, why and how you did everything. Getting the bug for WWI aircraft again, though due to space limitations they'll have to be 1/48. Oh yes, subbed and looking forward to your next video.
Thanks a lot. There are some very nice Eduard kits in 1/48.
Think is a beautiful build and you have superb modeling skills. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your kind words Tim
Love your work and love your humor! Thank you for sharing. The dvii is progressing beautifully!
Thank you 😊
I admire your skills. This is superb modeling. 👍
Thanks Mark, the ride on the fuselage was a bit rocky this time but I think it's still okay
@@TheAlleyman Overlaying the fuselage lozenge pattern (I mean low-zen-gay)😉 with red is brilliant. I never would have thought of that, and perhaps I will try try that technique some day on one of my DVII kits.
@@markfrommontana thanks, I really like it because depending on the angle you look at it it's either pure red or red with a bit lozenge.
Music's fine. Keep up the good work. Really looks great!
Thanks Steve, I never gave too much thought on the music as I just wanted something in the background that doesn't annoy anyone nor draw too much attention from the image
Incredible Work, and I learned a lot! Thank you!
Thank you, that's one of my main motivation to push those videos out :)
Waiting patiently for part 3, I’m really looking forward to it
Thanks mate, blocked some time for it and aiming for the end of December.
Very nice, you are building to an exceptional standard! I´m quite happy I stumbled into your channel (at the first part of this build) as your videos are a real joy to watch. Not to talk about the fact that they are quite educational too.
Liebe Grüsse aus dem Salzburger Land ;)
Danke und ebenfalls viele Grüße :)
Well said, X. Master quality understanding of modeling art..
Absolutely beautiful attention to detail!
Just wonderful.
Thanks, Guy :)
I hope wa could see the end of this very nice build sometime !!
This is the best WNW build video on the internet !
Wow, thanks a lot and I promise that the Fokker won't stay a shelf queen forever
Interestingly the term "lozenge" was not used during the war. Apparently it originated in some modelling publications in the 1960s. The contemporary name was "harlequin".
Cool, didn't know that, quite interesting (and somewhat appropriate).
German camouflage theory is a vast trove indeed..
Beautiful!
Thanks a lot :)
Absolutely amazing
Thanks a lot
In my experience your much better off using a rotary tool with micro drill bits because they are so fragile. I've had them break just from my pulse and the rotary tool helps keep you from putting to much pressure on one side and gives you a much more stable grip.
Yes, I sometimes use a rotary tool but here I was afraid to scratch the paint job. Might need more practice with it.
@The Alleyman understandable, sometimes you have to pick your battles. Still an impressive piece of work.
Blooming brilliant 👏
You have another subscriber
Thanks for your words David, nice to have you onboard!
I haven't seen the new NASM interior yet though I walk by the building every week. I do remember when the WW1 hall opened. Friends with the designer, she managed to cram a bunch of aircraft in there.
Hey Bryan, where's NASM?
Sorry, I thought that was the photo reference you were using. The Air and Space Museum.
@@bryankennedy7123 oh it actually is, I was just too slow to recognize 😊
@@TheAlleyman The workshop dio is pretty cool. There was a mannequin of the head designer (very Hungarian) working on fabric and a soldier is requesting her hair for the war effort. LOL.
Wonderful work!
Thank you 😊
Wow fantastic job.
On the this particular model.
@@johnnanny4872 thanks John. I have a complete build of the Nieuport XVII on my channel as well, maybe you'll like this one as well.
Absolutely magnificent
Thanks a lot!
'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.
@@TheAlleyman - roger that. The closest I can think of, is old-style British sweets/lozenges, Victory-V's, which used to be very good until the EU mucked it up by requiring the removal of the chloroform & ether. 5 of those in one go & hot tea.... The good old days. Cheers.
Great kit and excellent build!
Thanks a lot
You could do some beautiful motorcycle models.
Amazing attention to detail and very good and correct.
Thanks a lot Bill. Never build a motorcycle but who knows, maybe one day
Beautiful job. Nice details.
Thank you very much!
Great video, I just recently picked up stencil material to use with my cricut
Thanks, I only used the silhouette in this project and it already became one of my favorite tools
Liked and subscribed! Tremendous work, fantastic! Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden
Thank you Anders, happy to have you onboard
Such an amazing channel! I do hope you come back
Thanks mate, aiming for a new video by the end of the year
nice work !
Thanks a lot :)
I really like you're builds! Hopefully you will have a new one soon!
Hey Marcel, thanks a lot. New video is in the making but unfortunately I have a lot going on with my day job currently, so it might still take some time
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 :)
Thanks for the feedback and point well taken. I will check if the database has anything else to offer
Very very nice work and excellent video. 👍🙂
Thanks mate!
@@TheAlleyman Anytime my friend
wonderful job
Thank you Rafael
What a great treasure chest of outstanding modeling projects. Thanks for the obvious effort you put into such professional "productions" I'm certainly looking forward to future episodes where I can learn more, and as important, get to admire your skill..
Not to be taken as a complaint: I find the in-and-out background "music" distracting from your wonderfully crafted narration and sly humor.
Hey, thanks a lot for your appreciation and the constructive feedback. I'm still looking for a perfect way to handle the music in scenes where I don't talk. I tried with just no sound but it appeared weird to me 😅 it will remain like this in the last video of this series for consistency but I have a few ideas in mind for upcoming projects.
Thanks for your very nice video.
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheAlleyman Outstanding video and presentation.
Beautiful 👍
Thank you 😊
I feel this company needs to mature more. But someday woooooow! They be one of the best.
Well the creator of the video definitely needs to mature more 😅
Man that is very nice
Thanks a lot :)
Lozenge camouflage will be called "Buntfarbenaufdruck" in German if I'm not mistaken
Yes another user stated this as well. Definitely sounds like a word the German Army would come up with :)
Wahnsinn, and very inspiring! By the way "lozenge" means "hustenbonbon"... hahahahaha
Excellent command of the English language BTW! And also most excellent narration. I'm really enjoying this!
Thanks (again) for the great feedback and for some more trivia on the word lozenge.
Spectacular.
Thanks mate
Wunderbar!!!
Danke :)
😊
Excellente !
Merci 🙂
Hi Mike here from NZ , have a Wingnut wings Junkers J.1 new kit seeing if your after a new model to build sometime. If so happy to post it a gift for such a great channel
Wow, this is insanely generous but I can't accept knowing what they sell for and the cost of shipping to Europe. But don't worry, I have still some WNW kits in my stash to feature here. Thanks so much for your gesture!
@@TheAlleyman 👍🏼
Just discovered your videos and this is the first one that I've seen, it's fantastic. Will certainly watch the rest of the series and I've subscribed to your channel.
Just one comment, why did you completely obscure the lozenge patton with red paint, there must have been a reason?
Hi Tony, thanks for your kind words. I actually didn't obscure the lozenge, it still shines through. This is to simulate the field applied red painting that was done on the factory delivered lozenge scheme.
@TheAlleyman Many thanks for your reply, it was much appreciated. I didn't realise that the original lozenge pattern still showed through and that you were only creating what was originally done.
You lozenge was enough foe a like bud. 👍
🤣 thanks mate
Awesome
Thank you 😊
Lozenge is an old French to Middle English word, so probably arrived into England with the Normans.
Thanks, I'm really amazed about how much I learned on this word since I posted the video 😅
Where are you alley man? We need more!
Hi Jon, taking a forced break due to time constraints from my day job. I will be back still in 2023. Tanks for caring for my content!
@@TheAlleyman we were getting worried about you.
Alleyman how are you doing?
@@johnbrewer6330 Hey mate, doing fine, thanks for asking. Currently building a Dragon SIG 33b which is one of many reasons keeping me from the Fokker. Sorry for letting you guys wait 😥
@@TheAlleyman so hopefully a Christmas day treat with the Fokker!
Like because of the thumbnail!
…you should have also mentioned the actual German name of this camouflage pattern.
Thanks. Trying to figure out the German name for the next episode
@@TheAlleyman Buntfarbenaufdruck - Bright Color Print
To be honest when I was interested in the subject 10-15 years ago, I also thought that Lozange was the German word.
However Bunt Farben Aufdruck is about as German as it can get!
Yes that's definitely German 🤣🤣
WOW!
Thank you 😊
@@TheAlleyman subscribed . Just on another level 💯
Thanks Bob, great to have you onboard
Tolles Video 👍🏻 Mach weiter so.
Vielleicht hätte dir das Video von scale a ton bei seiner Fokker geholfen. Der hatte in Sachen Zusammenbau einige Tips. Bei meiner Fokker hat es geholfen ohne die grossen Gaps.
Danke Dominik :) das Video von scale-a-ton kenne ich. Ich kann mir die große Lücke bis heute nicht erklären zumal alle Anbauteile nach wie vor passen und auch das Decal perfekt gepasst hat. Keine Ahnung was da schief gegangen ist 😅
Ah sehr gut. 👍🏻 Dann hast du definitiv das beste daraus gemacht. 😊
wow
Thanks :)
I have An Albatros D.III and an SE.5a Hispano Suiza in my little stash. Now I've never built an aircraft from WW1, all I have done is WW2 armour and warbirds. I'm a little apprehensive about the rigging, are there many do's and don'ts when it comes to rigging? and what are they? I want to get on and start them but honestly this is making me back off from them. Love your build, great stuff it really is.
@@dandy193 thanks a lot. You can skip the turnbuckles and use elastic strings for rigging, it's a bit more convenient than the fishing line. Also, fix one side of the rigging while the wings are not attached to minimize fiddling work
Beautiful work and the engine looks absolutely amazing! In some shots it looks like there's some dust or other spots in or under the red paint? Or are my eyes deceiving me? 😛 Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot Bram. It's possible that there is some dust, I saw when I took the photo for the thumbnail and cleaned it off but I didn't had the will to refilm at this point 😅 the big "bumps" on each side of the fuselage are molded structure though.
I thought (and still think) that the dust might be there to make the whole thing even more realistic??????? ;-))
As always god tier quality.
Do you dilute the Tamiya paints? I haven’t noticed. What thinner do you use and what ratio?
Thanks a lot. I use Mr. Leveling Thinner and usually a 1:1 ratio (for the red cover coat in this video I used 2:1)
So sad that wingnut wings is gone
Agree, but Copper State Models are filling their place really well
In the movie the Blue Max the pilot Bruno stucco was flying a plane known as a falx and he said it was out of date even for that time.... Has anyone ever done a model of that airplane I'm just wondering.....
Tbh I haven't seen the movie 😅
@@TheAlleyman just gogo. The movie trailer. The Blue Max waith Gorg Leppard
And Jem's Massen....
great video hope there comming some more. what kind of epoxy putty did you used to fill the gap? kind regards
Thanks Ricardo. It's Tamiya epoxy (the normal one, not the quick type)
@@TheAlleyman thank you for your fast awnser you got loads of those Tamiya epoxy putty's
Where’s the rest of the videos on this build? 🤷♂️
Still in the making 😅 I'll hurry
