Where have all the years gone?
A bold attempt aged 15 and excellent results - you were obviously an authenticist even back then. (I too built the 1/28 Revell Dr.I about then at the same age, but mine had a fanciful all-black finish coz I thought it looked better than red!)

Good to see the early efforts of another modeller! At least your model was in matt colours - at that time I was still painting mine in gloss!! And I did not know anything at all about the streaked finishes on Fokker aircraft, so you were already many steps ahead of them even then.

Thanks for the replies. I am enjoying seeing your responses and glad I am bringing back Memories! That being said I am thinking that perhaps Dave, Zac, Brad or Lance should move this to the Nostalgia Board ?

PS: The Voss version was molded in light blue so no worry about covering glaring red plastic  :o
