Aviattic 1:32 Fokker D.VII (Albatros): a four-color lozenge for the tail surfaces with rib tapes in the lozenge pattern. A decal sheet on a clear backing with a faithful texture of printed fabric.
Responsibility details are not available.
This decal sheet from the British brand Aviattic brings a four-color lozenge camouflage pattern for the tail surfaces of the Fokker D.VII fighter from the licensed production of the Albatros works. According to the name the sheet also holds rib tapes in the same lozenge pattern, so the tail surfaces can be finished in a single style. The pattern is printed on a clear decal backing with the drawing of a fabric texture, and the final tone is tuned with the color laid under the decal.
The Fokker D.VII was one of the best fighters of the end of the First World War. It entered service in the spring of 1918 and, besides the parent Fokker factory, it was also built under license by the Albatros and OAW works. Most of the airframe was covered with fabric carrying a printed polygonal lozenge pattern; the four-color version combined subdued shades so that the machine blended with the ground and the sky alike. The seams and the ribs of the covering were overlaid with narrow tapes, and on many machines these were cut straight from lozenge fabric, exactly as this sheet treats them.
Spray the base in a uniform light color and bring it to a gloss so that the decal adheres without silvering. Cut the segments with a small overlap, settle them with softener and push the water out from the center to the edges. Apply the rib tapes only once the main areas are perfectly dry, so that they do not shift. At the end, even the whole out with a satin or matte clear coat, which catches the fabric character of the covering.
This is a decal accessory, not a kit: the model, the paints and the glue are not included in the package.
