1:72 Fokker D.VII Part 2 (decals incl. 1x lozenge)

Fokker D.VII Part 2 1:72 — Print Scale waterslide decals

The Fokker D.VII Part 2 set holds high-quality waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from Print Scale. It also includes a separate sheet with the lozenge pattern, the characteristic multicolored printed fabric that covered the surfaces of German aircraft. This is not a kit; these are the decals alone, meant for marking and finishing your Fokker D.VII model.

The real subject

The Fokker D.VII was a German fighter biplane committed in the closing stage of the First World War and it is ranked among the best fighters of its period. It was marked by a welded steel fuselage frame, easy handling and good behavior at low speeds. It was powered by inline Mercedes or BMW engines. It was flown by numerous Jastas with colorful personal and unit insignia.

How to use the waterslide decals

• Coat the area under the decal with a gloss varnish — it limits silvering under the carrier film.
• Dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and slide it off the backing onto the right spot.
• Blot the excess water away and use a decal softener so that it settles onto the uneven surface.
• Once dry, seal it with a matte or semi-gloss varnish to unify the finish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building First World War aircraft in 1:72 scale.
• Modelers interested in the color and unit markings of the German Jastas.
• Those who want better decals than the ones in the kit box.

The package holds decals only. The airplane model, paints and glue are not included.
