Title: Revell 1:28 Dr.1
Post by: Cajun on October 01, 2015, 12:17:27 PM: I know the scheme isnt very scale but its an OOB build so it was ok :D

I aimed for a war torn battle tested and survived plane and I dont think I did too bad. For an old kit it surely tested my patience but im happy with it.

First plane Ive completed in a long time

Post by: Des on October 01, 2015, 12:40:35 PM: Nothing at all wrong with your colour choice, it looks very authentic to my eyes and just the right amount of weathering, you have done a superb job with this very old kit.

Des.

Post by: coyotemagic on October 01, 2015, 12:47:52 PM: Cajun, your color choice and weathering are spot on. Fantastic job.

Post by: Cajun on October 01, 2015, 12:54:09 PM: Really do appreciate the compliments!!!

I was skeptical on posting it with all the amazing work that I see all over the forum!
Title: Re: Revell 1:28 Dr.1
Post by: RAGIII on October 01, 2015, 01:05:03 PM: I agree with Des and Bud. The color is terrific and the weathering very well done. I saw this on Facebook the other day and am glad you decided to post it here!

Post by: petrov27 on October 01, 2015, 03:09:09 PM: Looks great to me - the weathered red works very nice and give a good used impression. Great job on that old kit (great kit - was way ahead of its times!)
Title: Re: Revell 1:28 Dr.1
Post by: Epeeman on October 02, 2015, 01:25:14 AM: I agree with others regarding your shade of red and weathering - looks great.

Good model DR1. These large scale Revell WW1 kits are pretty good on the whole.

Regards

Dave

Post by: GAJouette on October 02, 2015, 12:54:10 PM: Cajun,
Beaucoupe congratulations my friend. I truly do love to see a talented modeler take on such a classic like the Revell Fokker Dr.I. Most impressive color choice on her red. What red did you use?
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Post by: Cajun on October 02, 2015, 10:04:03 PM: Used Tamiya Flat Red

I did alot of preshading on the wings and fuselage and cowling....Primer grey and shaded with flat black..and when I sprayed red it came out just a little dark. After painting I hit it with Vallejo Gloss...decals and such.... Then Oversprayed with Flat Black very thinly to achieve the dark weathering.... If you would see the plane in person you can tell it was overdone.... but in natural light and pictures... its looks good

Title: Re: Revell 1:28 Dr.1
Post by: lcarroll on October 09, 2015, 05:36:12 AM: Very nice work on an old Kit, Cajun, and you nailed the red IMHO. I like the weathered look and don't think She's overdone at all. Not too shabby for a Guy who hasn't built for a while! ;)
Cheers,
Lance

Can't wait. There was a guy who had done a WNW DH4 I believe and it was there... never seen a WNW in person.. gorgeous

But I scored alot of kits. Got the DML Spad..Fok. D7 D7 Dr.1 and 1/28 Fok. D7 All for 25 bucks. Amazing

Post by: PrzemoL on October 09, 2015, 05:41:10 PM: I am sure you know, 102/17 was a F.I not a Dr.I. But despite this it is a very nice model. It looks might fine in that weathered red livery.

Heck jsut the color scheme alone I knew it wasnt going to be exactly scale. But for an Out of the Box build. Im happy with it :)

Im personally not a big fan of Dr.I but It doesn't mean I don't appreciate great modelling - and I definitely love amount of weathering on your aircraft!!! ;)

Cheerio
