Hi Jonathan, Happy you took something from the video even if it's just a cringe-inducing pronunciation 😅 but seriously, thanks for your feedback and happy modelling!
Interestingly the term "lozenge" was not used during the war. Apparently it originated in some modelling publications in the 1960s. The contemporary name was "harlequin".
There's 'good', 'really good', 'excellent' and your work appears to be 'remarkable'. I have not been one to make a WWI aircraft, but after seeing this, I may want to take a shot at it. Actually, at my age and the aircraft in my stash, I may not make it. But maybe I will have to rearrange my priorities. Beautiful work and thanks for the tips.
One argument that I got into Wingnut Wings that was never resolved (they got entrenched and defensive and that was that) is that they did not provide the empty cartridge trays for the Machine guns. These can be obtained after market now but I think are a necessity for DVII's and DR 1's in 1/32nd scale as they are visible from the outside.
Udet once said, "Without flight, there is no life". And indeed, a flyboy is all he was. He didn't care for the politics or the mundane. It is almost ironic that his life of glamour would end up where he feared the most, a desk. Some would call it fate, others might call it karma. One has to wonder if, in the end, he realized that what he should've done was leave it all behind, forgetting his past as a flyer and return to the home he had remembered so fondly. The past most only knew as "Lo!", who he was adamant be etched on every single plane he flew. If it isn't fitting that the daredevil flyboy who lost his heart in the skies of Europe, lose his life in the endless torment of politics and bureaucracy, then I don't know what is. I must humbly request that you add "Du Doch Nicht!", out of respect. A small change, but I'm sure it would mean a lot to him if he were around. I'm begging you!!! The boy who felt - and seemingly was - invincible to his enemies, but not to himself. Danke schön!
Thanks for the interesting extra information. I really appreciate that you care about the political, ethical - or simply personal - context of the modelling.
Another amazing video. I can’t say enough nice things about the video quality, your sense of humour and particularly your builds. Your attention to detail is mind blowing. I just wish the video was 2 hrs long. I can’t get enough of it.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and you have picked up another subscriber! I really enjoyed your honesty when using extremely fine drill bits. Carbide has no play before it breaks. I have broken many myself over the years.
The word 'lozenge' is used for a symbol in the Navigation Display in modern aviation. I find your video very well done and of course the scale model too!
Nice engine ! I have to get those taurus details for next project. I build my own sparks plug for my current Pfalz. Easy to do but long ! Having used the same decals they work quite better on a gloss coat as you did Really nice video again !
Just discovered your channel and I’m hoping that you’ll pick up where you left off and post more videos! Your skills are amazing but more importantly, you do a great job of demonstrating them and illustrating your techniques. This and the professional quality of your videos makes them such a pleasure to watch. Please come back!
Just found your channel, and thoroughly enjoyed both of the WNW Fokker videos. Looking forward to now watching your Nieuport XVII series, as well as anything else you put up here. I really like your explanations of what you are doing, as well as the subtle humor spread throughout the video. Bravo!
In Denver Colorado USA at the wings over the Rockies Air museum they have artifacts from world war German aircraft and there's examples of this camouflage in the case in color out of the sunlight so it doesn't have UV damage. If you travel here or live here it's worth looking at.
@@TheAlleymanand if anybody viewing your video catches it's worth seeing about flying suits machine guns all the stuff the guys used and parts of the aircraft rudders and some of the cloth. A lot of old pics too
Goodness. You take detail to a whole new level. Just within the first five minutes, I have learned a lot - including to stay clear of larger scales that require that much detail - lol. I saw a comment on your music choice. Another compliment. It is not intrusive over your speech nor annoying, yet not boring either. Nice job!
Thanks mate. Yes the large scale planes can be a handful (see my current hiatus). On the other hand, the 1/32 WW1 planes are not much larger than an 1/48 WW2 fighter.
Thanks Forrest. It's indeed sad that WNW went out of business but I can only recommend Copper State Models, they deliver the same quality in any aspect except for catalogue size but they are continuously working on that one.
Your work is truly inspiring. I watched all of your videos. The engine builds are my favourite. I really like working with engines. I've learnt a lot, and I'm going to use these new techniques in my future builds on my channel. So keep goin; I'm waiting for your next video. ...and, of course, you have a new subscriber... 🙂
How is this channel still so underated? You deserve a shout-out from one of the bigger modeling CZcamsrs, cuase damn is your work and video production amazing.
Thanks a lot, that's really encouraging to hear. To be fair, LPJ models gave me a shout out after my second video already and it helped the channel quite a lot. Otherwise, well, it's a relatively new channel and I don't publish that much and therefore I am quite happy with the reception so far. Also WW1 is still kind of a niche compared to more popular subjects like Tanks or Jets.
Just discovered your channel. Your work is excellent, but what really impressed me was your clear and engaging explanations of what, why and how you did everything. Getting the bug for WWI aircraft again, though due to space limitations they'll have to be 1/48. Oh yes, subbed and looking forward to your next video.
@@TheAlleyman Overlaying the fuselage lozenge pattern (I mean low-zen-gay)😉 with red is brilliant. I never would have thought of that, and perhaps I will try try that technique some day on one of my DVII kits.
Very nice, you are building to an exceptional standard! I´m quite happy I stumbled into your channel (at the first part of this build) as your videos are a real joy to watch. Not to talk about the fact that they are quite educational too. Liebe Grüsse aus dem Salzburger Land ;)
In my experience your much better off using a rotary tool with micro drill bits because they are so fragile. I've had them break just from my pulse and the rotary tool helps keep you from putting to much pressure on one side and gives you a much more stable grip.
Thanks Steve, I never gave too much thought on the music as I just wanted something in the background that doesn't annoy anyone nor draw too much attention from the image
I haven't seen the new NASM interior yet though I walk by the building every week. I do remember when the WW1 hall opened. Friends with the designer, she managed to cram a bunch of aircraft in there.
@@TheAlleyman The workshop dio is pretty cool. There was a mannequin of the head designer (very Hungarian) working on fabric and a soldier is requesting her hair for the war effort. LOL.
'Lozenge' refers to the shape of most boiled sweets, or lozenges. Not sure how it became applied to this pattern because it's not really accurate (it refers to rectangular with smooth curved edges, generally - easy on the mouth & tongue). Stunning craft skills by the way.
Thanks a lot. So from what I read (obviously I'm no authority on the field of this word 😅) it also describes the geometric form used in the camouflage.
@@TheAlleyman - roger that. The closest I can think of, is old-style British sweets/lozenges, Victory-V's, which used to be very good until the EU mucked it up by requiring the removal of the chloroform & ether. 5 of those in one go & hot tea.... The good old days. Cheers.
Hey Marcel, thanks a lot. New video is in the making but unfortunately I have a lot going on with my day job currently, so it might still take some time
Your work is of a level I can only dream of ever reaching, how wonderful! The only bit of feedback I may have is about your music choice: I binged all your older videos and I personally think the song you use is perhaps a bit too noticeable, which gets even more noticeable when you see a few in a row. Perhaps you could switch up the music choice? I really love your vids, so please don't take this as negative feedback, just something that you may want to look into in the future :)
Hi Mike here from NZ , have a Wingnut wings Junkers J.1 new kit seeing if your after a new model to build sometime. If so happy to post it a gift for such a great channel
Wow, this is insanely generous but I can't accept knowing what they sell for and the cost of shipping to Europe. But don't worry, I have still some WNW kits in my stash to feature here. Thanks so much for your gesture!
@@johnbrewer6330 Hey mate, doing fine, thanks for asking. Currently building a Dragon SIG 33b which is one of many reasons keeping me from the Fokker. Sorry for letting you guys wait 😥

Not to be taken as a complaint: I find the in-and-out background "music" distracting from your wonderfully crafted narration and sly humor.
Hey, thanks a lot for your appreciation and the constructive feedback. I'm still looking for a perfect way to handle the music in scenes where I don't talk. I tried with just no sound but it appeared weird to me 😅 it will remain like this in the last video of this series for consistency but I have a few ideas in mind for upcoming projects.

@TheAlleyman Many thanks for your reply, it was much appreciated. I didn't realise that the original lozenge pattern still showed through and that you were only creating what was originally done.
Tolles Video 👍🏻 Mach weiter so. Vielleicht hätte dir das Video von scale a ton bei seiner Fokker geholfen. Der hatte in Sachen Zusammenbau einige Tips. Bei meiner Fokker hat es geholfen ohne die grossen Gaps.
Danke Dominik :) das Video von scale-a-ton kenne ich. Ich kann mir die große Lücke bis heute nicht erklären zumal alle Anbauteile nach wie vor passen und auch das Decal perfekt gepasst hat. Keine Ahnung was da schief gegangen ist 😅
In the movie the Blue Max the pilot Bruno stucco was flying a plane known as a falx and he said it was out of date even for that time.... Has anyone ever done a model of that airplane I'm just wondering.....
I have An Albatros D.III and an SE.5a Hispano Suiza in my little stash. Now I've never built an aircraft from WW1, all I have done is WW2 armour and warbirds. I'm a little apprehensive about the rigging, are there many do's and don'ts when it comes to rigging? and what are they? I want to get on and start them but honestly this is making me back off from them. Love your build, great stuff it really is.
@@dandy193 thanks a lot. You can skip the turnbuckles and use elastic strings for rigging, it's a bit more convenient than the fishing line. Also, fix one side of the rigging while the wings are not attached to minimize fiddling work
Very nice work! The whimsical music in the background really makes this video a pleasure to watch.
Thanks, I had hoped to pick something that plays nicely in the background without distracting too much from the actual content. Glad you like it
Wow...I have several wing nut kits...just watching what you have done I hope to replicate 😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks Roy! Try not to replicate the gap between the cowling parts :)
I always add a tad bit of ground orange chalk to my last layer of rust colors in order to give it a slight texture as well. Works awesome.
Yes I have some pastels that I use for this as well though mostly on tank exhausts
Just discovered your Nieuport and this Fokker. Your work is astounding. I think i will think of lozenge as lotz-enger whenever it comes up.
Hi Jonathan, Happy you took something from the video even if it's just a cringe-inducing pronunciation 😅 but seriously, thanks for your feedback and happy modelling!
"They break just by looking at them" You sir made me laugh out loud
🤣 well it's not too far from the truth
Yes, well worth the wait, I still think 20 minutes of your superb modelling is not long enough 👏👏👏
Thanks Tony, if I look on some of my future projects I will definitely stretch the 20 minutes mark at least occasionally
Just high quality work. I love the red. Makes me want to break out my Fokker kit I got from Andy's Hobby Headquarters.
Go for it, there are too nice to sleep in the stash 😅
The engine alone is its own work of art. Another beautiful build!
Thanks a lot, thankfully the Taurus sparks were some real time savers
a TINY support for your GREAT work, surely worth every cent. Eagerly waiting for your completion of the FOKKER in the next clip.

I’ve had a Fokker Dr.1 triplane kit from Revell for about 4 or 5 years in my backlog. This video makes me really want to build it now haha!
Go for it :) and thanks for your feedback!
That looks amazing. I can't wait for the next episode
Thanks Duke, I'm hurrying 😅
Man, I miss your further content, Herr Alleyman. Best in the business! (IMHO).
Thanks a lot man! I've picked up working on the Fokker again, so I hope I can release something in the not so far future.
Please make more videos! I just got into ww1 planes after building pretty much every ww2 kit.. you are so talented!
Thank you so much. I'm currently figuring out a "master plan" to get out more videos. I will soon be back, promised :)

@TheAlleyman Many thanks for your reply, it was much appreciated. I didn't realise that the original lozenge pattern still showed through and that you were only creating what was originally done.
Tolles Video 👍🏻 Mach weiter so.
Vielleicht hätte dir das Video von scale a ton bei seiner Fokker geholfen. Der hatte in Sachen Zusammenbau einige Tips. Bei meiner Fokker hat es geholfen ohne die grossen Gaps.
Danke Dominik :) das Video von scale-a-ton kenne ich. Ich kann mir die große Lücke bis heute nicht erklären zumal alle Anbauteile nach wie vor passen und auch das Decal perfekt gepasst hat. Keine Ahnung was da schief gegangen ist 😅
Ah sehr gut. 👍🏻 Dann hast du definitiv das beste daraus gemacht. 😊
As always god tier quality.
Do you dilute the Tamiya paints? I haven’t noticed. What thinner do you use and what ratio?
Thanks a lot. I use Mr. Leveling Thinner and usually a 1:1 ratio (for the red cover coat in this video I used 2:1)
So sad that wingnut wings is gone
Agree, but Copper State Models are filling their place really well
wow
Thanks :)
Where’s the rest of the videos on this build? 🤷♂️
Still in the making 😅 I'll hurry
In the movie the Blue Max the pilot Bruno stucco was flying a plane known as a falx and he said it was out of date even for that time.... Has anyone ever done a model of that airplane I'm just wondering.....
Tbh I haven't seen the movie 😅
@@TheAlleyman just gogo. The movie trailer. The Blue Max waith Gorg Leppard
And Jem's Massen....
great video hope there comming some more. what kind of epoxy putty did you used to fill the gap? kind regards
Thanks Ricardo. It's Tamiya epoxy (the normal one, not the quick type)
@@TheAlleyman thank you for your fast awnser you got loads of those Tamiya epoxy putty's
I have An Albatros D.III and an SE.5a Hispano Suiza in my little stash. Now I've never built an aircraft from WW1, all I have done is WW2 armour and warbirds. I'm a little apprehensive about the rigging, are there many do's and don'ts when it comes to rigging? and what are they? I want to get on and start them but honestly this is making me back off from them. Love your build, great stuff it really is.
@@dandy193 thanks a lot. You can skip the turnbuckles and use elastic strings for rigging, it's a bit more convenient than the fishing line. Also, fix one side of the rigging while the wings are not attached to minimize fiddling work
Where did you get you micro drill bits?
I order them on Amazon
