“Once again, Gary has not only provided the Wingnut Wings devotees with an amazing reference work, but an outstanding reference to model builders of other WWI aircraft kits as well. Terrific techniques and wonderful photographs throughout.”

Building the Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII in 1/32 Scale

In this 382-page eBook, Gary Boxall builds not one, but two Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII kits in 1/32 scale. The first and most extensive build sees Gary detailing, modifying, and improving the kit to produce Gotthard Sachsenberg’s brightly-coloured machine. The second build leverages the first, and focuses on what it takes to produce a post-war Dutch version of this famous WWI aircraft. We’ve also included our usual Appendices section, covering available aftermarket and reference material.
