Title: Fokker Dr1, Meng 1/32nd scale. Lothar von Richthofen Jasta 11
Post by: RAGIII on May 24, 2021, 02:43:20 PM
My Interpretation of LvR's Jasta 11 Fokker DR1. Based on photos provided by Richard Alexander on FB. Tamiya paints and Oils for the streaking.

Beautifully done, Rick. You are the go-to Triplane man!
Love the streaking and the overall finish.
(One tiny point, I can't see in the pit but is the stick far enough to the left for the aileron positions?)
Is that a painted prop? It looks really good, wish mine would turn out that good.

 Perfect model, Rick. The colors are stunning and the build was a joy to watch your progress. The streaking is very nice done. I think I have to add this one to my to do list.
Bye, Manni

Very VERY nice Rick, and I like the yellow shade you used much better then what I recently used on mine. Your "streaking" is also outstanding, you've done a magnificent job on this one!
Cheers,
Lance

Another outstanding build off the Model Assembly Line Rick.  The streaking is spot on, the undercarriage oil staining looks realistic and well done, and as Lance mentioned, the yellow you used is a good choice.  All in all one Outstanding build for the case.  You're going to need a bigger case Rick. ;)

Thanks Guys and Gal for the Comments. Lance, the Yellow is My standard Jasta 10 mix. I figured Lothar would have easy access to the Jasta 10 supply  ::) That being said yours and Marks' choices were fantastic. who knows what the real shade was as there are no surviving samples of the LvR aircraft fabric!  Mark, I was able to get 6 Jasta 11 aircraft on one shelf in the case as 4 of them were Triplanes  ;D The other three Jastas will only hold 5. Space  for the Udet SSW is already there. After that I may need to pull out some older stuff and put them in a box if I want to add something  :'(

Thanks Richie. As for the scheme it represents a "Different" take on the one Lance and Mark did. I chose not to paint the upper wing and fuselage forward of the cross yellow based on info and photos provided by Richard Alexander and Ray from Windsock. Nothing can really be proven as fact but I liked the difference  8)

Thanks Frank. I have seen some uses of the "Streaking Decals" that make me envious!

Rick,
    Great interpretation and result!  Your streaking is among the best non-decal results I've seen.
