Title: 1/28 Fokker Dr.1
Post by: Gisbod on June 23, 2017, 01:33:27 AM: Hello All,

This was on sale in my local hobby shop £12! I've been toying with trying one for a bit and at that price I couldn't resist. A toss up between the Fokker & the Spad - I think the weird strut fixings on the Spad tipped the balance.

I'm definitely a high tech kit man so this one will be a challenge, but the kit looks solid despite its age (60!!!)

I see Edgar on CSM has a photo etch sheet and a resin engine.. any other indispensable items that you could recommend?

Replacing the jacketed machine guns is a must - any ideas?

Thanks for looking

Guy

Time to start carving a wood one of your own, Guy. With your demonstrated skills it should be a breeze! I believe you'll enjoy the challenge of a vintage Kit, gets one back to the basics and is a refreshing break.

Post by: lone modeller on June 23, 2017, 03:34:48 AM: I too remember building this more years ago than I care to mention………

I also agree with Lance - carving a prop from wood should not present any real problems for you and it would look so much better than plastic. In this scale lamination should also be straightforward(!) I am certain that this will be turned into another gem on your table.

As you have made a 'huge' investment in this, and you are a self-confessed high-tech kit builder, have a go without buying AM stuff

That's a nice idea, but I'm afraid it's too late Richard.. I just tracked down the Tom's Modelworks PE German Gun set #400.

If there was one thing I couldn't make it would be the guns... ::)

OK, I confess. I may enjoy scratchbuilding, some parts really deserve a more complicated approach. Guns are one such area, and there are so many good engines around that scratchbuilding one of the common ones doesn't seem worthwhile

Tom's Modelworks stuff is great, and damn close to scratchbuilding...

Well, maybe not - just test fitting the major components. I'm surprisingly impressed by the overall fit - it seems really rather good! The mouldings are better than I was expecting too. I think with an overall sand the slightly overdone surface detail will look not too bad at all. The trailing edge on the elevators is razor sharp!

Pretty good so far. The obvious miss is the cockpit framework - will be addressing that next I guess.

Post by: dr 1 ace on June 24, 2017, 04:28:14 AM: Still a grand 'ol dame, TOM'S MODELWORKS for the Photo-etch Interior is the preferred. The CSM one is the last that was done BEFORE Edgar and Crew took over, ( thus the sale price as I believe he is going to redo that sheet) their new 1/28 engines are the best ! And if you don't want to carve your own CSM props are equal to the engines ( if there are any left )

Guy
Title: Re: 1/28 Fokker Dr.1
Post by: Gisbod on June 24, 2017, 11:56:13 PM: Too late!

Sanded down the wings and quite pleased - I've only sanded fore and aft and laterally and it gives the generic appearance of canvas (with a little imagination :) )

Tried a coat of primer on one wing and looks ok I think - it's not quite as pronounced as the photo shows as I gave the primer a gentle rub too which has accentuated the highlights. Looks fairly subtle in the flesh.

Post by: Gisbod on June 25, 2017, 06:11:03 PM: I seem to be racing along with this...

Great fun! I think I'm hooked on larger scale (please mr Wingnuts 8) ) can you imagine a WW's 1/24th Scale Be2c?!

Sanded off all the moulded on detail and am replacing with a mix of wood veneer, plastic strip, rod and brass tubing. I'd like to get Edgar's CSM instruments if nothing else - I suppose I could use Wingnut decals but they're going to look too small in this scale I reckon.

I am still thinking about using an 1/28 Revell Tripe to cut into pieces as background for my 75mm MvR(Vampire) figure, or buying a 1:24 Merit kit which is much more expensive. But I think I'll go with the old Revell now, seeing the pics of your progress.

The main framework is done - jus some details to add - engine control quadrant and instruments and some bits & bobs. But a very enjoyable day messing about with scraps to make up detail - I think this is more fun than a posh kit!

Just about finished the cockpit I think. Need to look at an ammunition box but it's all fairly generic tbh - just having fun making bits here and there. The seat belts came out of the spares box - 1/32 but look fine to me - as does the couple of instrument decals from Wingnuts.

Will have a look at the engine next...

Yes, probably best I don't know ::) although I have been told the ailerons are wrong (I can live with that) and the struts don't align - but they do seem to on my kit? Unless I'm missing something.

But yes, meant to be a fun, fairly quick build rather than a year long pursuit of perfection!

Finally got the first round of painting done. Can anyone guess the Jasta? :D

I haven't tried the Fokker streaking before. Any top tips welcome. I've kicked off with a light khaki-olive. This was using the MRP paints from the Camel build - PC10 lightened with Linen. I can't praise these paints enough - beautiful to spray! The underside blue was back to Tamiya and noticeably not as nice!

The initial plan will be to use artist's oils to do the streaking - maybe in 2 colours in 2 separate sittings? A lighter and darker shade of Olive? Is there any brown in it? There seems to be looking at streaking decals?

I haven't decided on the final aircraft, just the Jasta. The markings will have to be masked & sprayed so it won't be one of the super fancy schemes.

Any input welcome.

Guy

And also thanks KiwiZac... I've seen pictures of completed models with the struts slightly out of line (with the top and bottom strut) when viewed from side on, and Dave (in Dubai) told me he had to modify his). But mine do seem to be ok- yet I really don't think Revell have changed the moulds? Bit of a mystery...

Just waiting for the streaking to properly dry before sealing as I'll have to mask up a lot of the surface for the markings.

Ah, I see. I have noticed my top wing has a higher angle of incidence but can live with it, hadn't paid attention to the wing struts. I'll take a look at mine and see if I've got the same thing going on. Mine's just a fun build too/stash clearer so I'm not too worried.

And HB to the Tripehound.

While waiting for the drying I've been fiddling with an unusual beast for me - a 4 engined behometh Japanese seaplane in 1/72 from the 60's ... I never do 1/72 or Japanese aircraft or old kits so I don't know what I was thinking of but bought on impulse in my local model shop and it's great fun!

But I will get back to the Tripe shortly - around a run of trips away at work.

How dare you go and build aeroplanes just for fun - what do you think this is, a hobby???

;D

Where are the pictures of this 1/72 Japanese abomination, I bet they are worth seeing

Sorry Richard, bad form I know. I will post a mini log of the random abomination in the time to relax section I guess at some point.

But the Tripes calling me, so will post an update soon.

A little more done. Feel like I'm on the home stretch now. Rigging, guns etc to go...

Cheers,

Post by: lone modeller on July 17, 2017, 08:41:58 AM: That is super streaking and the rest of the markings are superbly done. I am struggling to remember that this is the old Revell offering!
