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 http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=5253.msg92988#msg92988 (http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=5253.msg92988#msg92988)

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 ;D

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

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!
