Fokker D.VII

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as 8417/18, the Fokker D.VII displayed by the RAF Museum at Hendon: the German single-seat fighter of 1918, the only aeroplane named in the Armistice terms, a biplane with thick-section cantilever wings braced only by N-shaped interplane struts, a welded steel-tube fuselage, a car-type radiator in the nose ahead of a 180 hp Mercedes D.IIIa six-cylinder inline engine, a small lifting aerofoil between the wheels and twin Spandau machine guns; shown as built under licence by the Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke at Schneidemühl in 1918 and restored by the museum between 1993 and 1997 as close as possible to its wartime standard: five-colour printed lozenge fabric on the fuselage, wings and tailplane, dark green nose panels and radiator shell with large mauve patches, a white fin and rudder with a black cross, white-bordered crosses on the fuselage sides, on top of the upper wing and under the lower wing, the stencil ‘Fok. D.VII (O.A.W.) 8417/18’ ahead of the fuselage cross, pale green struts and wheel covers and a varnished wooden propeller.
