I’m pleased to announce that our next title will be Building the Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII in 1/32 Scale by Gary Boxall. The book will feature two builds: an extensive build guide of a ‘typical’ Fokker built D.VII of WWI that utilises the more common Mercedes engine, followed by a smaller article focussing on building post-war Dutch Fokker D.VII with a BMW engine.
Work is just getting under way, so there’s no firm ETA on a release date, but please stay tuned for further news and updates as they come to hand.
The first, entitled The Smoke: Preparations for a Dawn Patrol, features the Wingnut Wings RE.8 kit in a scene with four figures as the contemplate the morning’s sortie.
The second diorama is a small vignette entitled Crashed. This shows a small boy surveying the scene of an aircraft crash, with all that remains being a forlorn engine.
The final diorama, Survivors, places the Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII kit in a museum setting, complete with ancillary displays and admiring patrons.
Jeroen breaks down his approach to both building the kits, and planning and executing the dioramas, in a way that is easy to understand and follow, with plenty of tips and advice for modellers of any level.
The book is available now for immediate purchase and download for just 15 Australian dollars.
