New Lozenge decals - Page 8

Here is the result of the all-lozenge applications for the American connection four colour. These images are to feature the lozenge without any of the normal BLV type stencils or national markings.

For your own information. Here is what it takes. I will tally the lozenge in "pieces used" for the simulated fabric covered areas. The 4 & 5 colour lozenge are slightly different widths like the originals. So keeping it to "how many pieces used" will give you the same total picecs used whether it is 4 or 5 colour.

To completely cover a Fokker D.VII in lozenge you will need;

20 pcs for the upper wing & ailerons, upper & lower surfaces.
12 pcs for the lower wing, upper & lower surfaces.
05 pcs for the fuselage, upper & lower surfaces.
08 pcs for the horizontal tail unit (stabilizers & elevators, upper & lower surfaces.
02 pcs for the vertical fin left & right.
04 pcs for the wheel covers.
------------------
51 pieces of lozenge.

For the ribtapes;

28 pcs for the lower wing. (using on piece rib tapes upper & lower surfaces, leading edge, trailing edge and wing tips).

34 pcs for the top wing (using on piece rib tapes upper & lower surfaces, leading edge, trailing edge and wing tips).

-----------------------
64 cut strips of lozenge.

With the surfraces prepainted in a clear gloss, it took me about 4 evenings of 2.5 hours each. With me doing the lower surfaces one night, upper surfaces the next night and rib tapes & edging tapes the next two nights.

Thanks for the build, and for the ongoing updates. I look forward to placing an order, as and when these decals become available.

Best Regards to everyone from Austria!

Meant to ask earlier, are they going to include in their line : Stenciling in the style of Fok, Alb and OAW ? to go along with the Loz.

StephenLawson · 17 September 2008, 11:23 PM

Greetings Ed; I am trying to convince them to do so.

Beginning with the 5 colour. Note the cut lozenge strip under the cradle for the top wing.

Good show ! I'd think it would be an easy and natural addition, they do want to make some $ right. Anyone who buys the loz is a potential cust for the stenciling.

Others want to chime in here on this ??

How about some pale blue designations and serial numbers for later Roland produced aircraft? Halberstadt ClIVs and Roland DVIbs?
