Fokker DR.I Eduard 1/48 guess the colour of that one...

No surprises here at all. The 100th anniversary of Richthofen`s demise approaches. Good time to finally build some red triplane.
This is where I am so far:

Spectacular engine and interior, Filip!  Love it.  Can't wait to see how you pull off that challenging all red airframe.
Cheers,
Bud

Cheers guys! Another update. Try as I might it`s really hard for me to get some depth out of that monolith red. Even though there is some pre-shading  ( you have to believe me ;) ) I used oils and will probably use some more...

A red triplane... fascinating ... I never heared of such a thing...
Beautifull realization!
