Aviattic 1:32 Fokker D.VII (OAW): a four-color lozenge for the tail surfaces with rib tapes in the lozenge pattern. A decal sheet on a clear backing for machines from the licensed production of the Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke.
Responsibility details are not available.
This Aviattic decal sheet is intended for the tail surfaces of the Fokker D.VII from the licensed production of OAW (Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke) and carries a four-color lozenge pattern filled out with rib tapes cut from the same pattern. The print on a clear decal backing captures the fine structure of the cloth; you tune the final tone of the pattern with the color of the base, which makes it possible to achieve either a factory-fresh or a service-worn look.
OAW, the Albatros subsidiary at Schneidemühl, was one of the two licensed makers of the Fokker D.VII, and its machines differed from the production of Fokker and of Albatros in a number of small ways, typically in the style of the painting of the engine panels or in the treatment of the rib tapes. For a modeler the maker's designation is a guide to building a particular documented machine, because the works number and the details of the covering are closely linked. The D.VII itself was rated the best German fighter in 1918 and served in large numbers right to the end of the war.
Spray the base uniformly, light and to a gloss. Transfer the segments of the sheet one at a time, settle them with softener and let them pull into the raised detail of the covering. Orient the tapes cut from the lozenge pattern the same way as the base pattern, so that the drawing looks natural. Once dry, close everything with a satin or matte clear coat; a fine oil wash will then bring out the texture of the fabric.
This is a decal accessory, not a kit: the model, the paints and the glue are not included in the package.
