Lee Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 The Military Aviation Museum is having it's annual Biplanes and Triplanes air show this weekend. Thought you all might be interested in one of our Fokker D.VII replicas with its brand new Lozenge fabric. This aircraft has a Hall-Scott engine, which is about as close the original BMW as we can get. S! Stuka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 She's a beaut! You guys have done an amazing job maintaining her. Was this replica always sporting a lozenge livery? What did it look like before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 When we got her, she was all red. Stuka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I much prefer the new historical livery she's currently painted in now. Has there been any thoughts regarding what unit markings to apply? Or will she remain "factory fresh"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Wow, that is a beautiful replica! I agree, the lozenge camo looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maushake Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I can't remember whether I've posted this before, but there's a Fokker D.VII still in its original livery (in fact it's the only one in the world that hasn't been restored at all) in a tiny museum in a small town in Quebec where my mother grew up: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/battle-over-future-of-fokker-d-vii-divides-knowlton-que-1.938675 More pics at the museum's website: http://www.bromemuseum.com/ S!

Klaiber Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Very cool! I wish we had something like this in CT. Our air museum is really good, but doesn't have any real WW1 aircraft (save for a DR.1 replica). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
