A question of scale..
« on: January 23, 2007, 11:43:42 AM »
Does this look right for 28mm?


It claims to be a Fokker D.VII so I don't know if the era is right either, but it was only $6USD and needed only a few screws popped in. W/ a re-paint, I think I have a winner.

Minis are Old West Artizan and Foundry (as I own no proper Pulp minis!) for scale.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, and yes, there are more if anybody needs some!

Maybe a bit too big, but who cares? Very nice!

Nice.  A touch too big (1/48 perhaps), but should be just fine.
What make is it?

That´s German Flying Ace Rudolph Berthold´s Fokker DVII, although the scale is strange - it looks even larger than 1/48th scale. Might it be a toy/diecast pre-painted model? Those sometimes have even larger scales, I´d guess at 1:45th or even 1:43rd. Why don´t you take the measurements, get the Fokker Stats of the web and do some measuring? I´ve got a 1:48th scale Se5a, which (in real life) was about equal size to the DVII, and that one isn´t nearly as large.

Otherwise, you could repaint it that it looks like a 1920s mail plane. Those were larger, for example in the size class of a Douglas World Cruiser, and some of those looked remarkably similar to a DVII in shape.

Thanks for the replys. I think the scale will be just fine for my needs.

It is from the KayBee Toy Store Outlet, and is made by a company called NewRay. It is indeed a toy, hard plastic that needs some simple assembly.

Not perfect scale, but perfect for gaming!
