Revell Fokker Dr1 in 1:48 MvR

This is Revell's re-boxing of the Eduard Dr1 (I have the Eduard kit too).
I wanted to build this one as the Baron as whilst it is a bit corny, I thought it worth doing. I researched the colour and was happy with the dark blood effect but I am not sure if this comes through with these pics taken under flash.
I was getting on quite well when I had an accident with the undercarriage assembly. I rebuilt it but could not get this to sit straight and the rigging lines wouldn't go because I didn't use eyelets - a mistake I won't make with the Eduard kit!
Apart form my problems "down under" so to speak, the rest of the kit went together well. I was getting angry with this and had to stop before I trashed the whole thing. I class this one as incomplete and not finished how I would like, but I must move on. The short build log is at

Great detail for the scale, Ian, and the colour is very nice. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, you've done a very nice job on this Kit.
Cheers,

Outstanding triplane Ian! I really like your choice of red. By the way doing a MvR bird is not corny. First everyone thinks they Know how it should look so achieving a result that others like is a difficult task. Second I have heard that the all red tripe is overdone by Modelers. I don't agree. It seems to me most avoid the red tripe because they think it has been done too many times. Your Triplane is a real winner in spite of your gear crash... which I see no sign of

Very nice MvR DR.1. Your choice of red brings a new look to this airplane. It adds a nice realism and sophistication.

Thanks folks...
As for the gear problems, the camera angle hides many issues

Very nice build. Mine went in the bin....because of undercarriage problems.

During my repair where I just could not get the rigging to set, I almost threw the model onto the floor and stamped on it. But I remembered I was quite happy with the rest of it so left the u/c unrigged!

Nicely done. Being treated to 2 MVR red dreideckers simultaneously is a rare luxury.
