Sorry had to post my Sachsenberg, I love this scheme
Interesting decals on the lower left one Michel.
How did you produce those please?

Jasta 12.
Shapeways kits.

Another nice offering Ian.
All in all worthy of some Kudos.

Jasta 18:
Nice to see Gunners. I'm still waiting for the DVII re issue in order to finish off both these and my Black Fokkers.

A very nice set of aircraft Nigel.
As usual I am interested in where you sourced your insignia.
Did you find a manufactured set or did you produce your own as I did for my Jasta?
Rob.
Hi Rob, If you mean the insignia themselves then they came from images on the net and also from the book "Black Fokker" leader. There are pix & scans in my photo album site listed above. The decals themselves were produced by Zoe Brain & I think she did a really fantastic and convincing job with them. I still have 2 more fokkers of Jasta 40 to do, but I have a couple of other projects currently under way which I want to finish first. (I got a bit tired of all the black - I think I was beginning to turn into a Goth but I just managed to save myself (despite my profile pix...)
Thanks for that Nigel.
You did exactly the same as I did then. Used the Book "Black Fokker Leader". Now I'm just waiting for the DVII reprints to complete the Jasta.
Rob.
Some lovely paint jobs everyone.
An inspiration to buy yet more planes.
I know what you mean but I gave up waiting for new releases a long time ago. Also the Shapeways kit is perfert for all lozenge planes. It's so much easier to lozenge then build than to have a pre built plane. I can't wait for the Ares re-release, but till its available, its Shapeways kits for me.
Ian
I agree with Ian about the shapeways kit and lozenge decals. It would be much easier to stick on the decal with a kit than a completed model (I know as i am currently contemplating how to do it properly on my latest project - finished planes and lozenge don't mix well methinks).
Here's my Jasta 18, all Shapeways kits.

Gunther Von Buren
Heinz Kustner
I think those are the pilots.

OK.. I will throw these up just to get them out there again.. I painted these a while back, but these already here look familiar.. lol..

Nice work again Nigel.
You must have a very steady hand.
Rob.
I think all of you have inspired me to try my hand at creating a Jasta. The last time I took paint to a model was in the '70s, but one can only look at the great pictures on this site for so long without jumping in.
That is great news Eric.
If the chaps efforts can inspire you to take up your brush after all these years, it can only be to the benefit of us all.
Rob.
Over the next week or so I will spend time rereading posts on painting and do some research on planes and supplies. This should be an interesting, rewarding, and, most likely, humbling experience. I will post pictures when I complete my first plane. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement.
I guess I should add my Jasta 18 D.VIIs that I recently had time to paint up.
This Jasta is very simple to paint up and goes really quick, oh, and they look really good on the table! What more could you ask for.... besides more D.VII minis to repaint with?
Beautiful work Herr Oberst
Thanks guys. It's hard to take to much credit on these easy paint schemes though.
Maybe the congrats is for finding so many re-paintable D.VIIs in the first place.
Karl
All of these planes are magnificent! Congratulations!
And didn't break one strut ! They look superb Keith
