Title: Revell Fokker Dr.I scale 1:28
Post by: radio on October 24, 2015, 02:39:45 AM: First I think it will be the only one in the big scale.
The next builds again in scale 1:48.
When the CSM parts will come. I will build the plane from Lt Josef Jacobs Serial 450/17.
The model needs very much work to come out in a beautiful.
I have already begun the wooden parts of the sides, floor and cut back up.
From brass residues to cut, grind and turn the light cartridge holder. The holes for the illuminating cartridges still to be made.
The fuselage halves internally are largely changed inside
Cheers
Martin

Post by: iwik on October 24, 2015, 03:25:16 AM: Hi!
I've got good memories upgrading this kit a few years back. I took great pleasure redoing the cockpit and had to carve a whole new propeller from balsa wood.
The biggest problem was to detail the ugly looking Oberusel. No means to change the cylinders.
Hope you'll find a way to go around that problem;
Will be following this built!

First, Thank you Richard for the compliments.

Title: Re: Revell Fokker Dr.I scale 1:28
Post by: ALBATROS1234 on October 30, 2015, 01:57:04 PM: you like to use balsa for your scratch built parts.i am sure that this is much easier to cut and sand than plastic or metal. is it hard to cover the wood grain when you paint. i tryed to use balsa before but it soaked up too much paint and i can still see the wood texture. do you use cyano acrylate for this?
Title: Re: Revell Fokker Dr.I scale 1:28
Post by: radio on October 30, 2015, 11:22:01 PM: Hello Scott,
balsa is the masterpiece to bend the thin alu to right form for the amunition boxes and to fuel tank.
Also you can buy filler for this wood to close this porous surface.
My playwood will only paint with clear colour.
Cheers
Martin
Title: Re: Revell Fokker Dr.I scale 1:28
Post by: radio on November 07, 2015, 01:25:42 AM: Unfortunately, my soldering iron does not combine the individual points. That's why I ordered a new one after more than 30 years. Unfortunately, the tips to purchased are still missing.
Have therefore other work ahead and remade the amuntion case.
The tailskid is almost ready.
Painted the fuselage halves from inside and glued wood panels.
Cheers
Martin

Just one note you might consider before gluing your seat: Fokker seats backrests were made from canvas covered aluminium sheet, not wood. I think it's better to know it now that you can still fix it easily.

Beto

Post by: Pgtaylorart on November 22, 2015, 02:48:02 AM: Wow, it keeps getting better, Martin! I think this is some of your finest work.

It can be very fiddley to solder fine parts. As long as the joints won't be under stress, then CA is a good way to go.

Post by: radio on November 26, 2015, 04:07:51 AM: So, now I have two little wires sticking to the side of the ruder bar and are painted.
The joystick is ready so far. At the aileron shaft the cable lever are mounted, is pending after drying the paint.
Have cut conforming to model the canvas decals (Aviattic) for the seat back, is now Aluminium colored and fuselage halves.

The resin parts are beautifully cast but I will also perform here or attach a few changes by selfmade. Here you can see already the first. Inspiring example are drawings of the Sopwith Camel.
Also, it goes to the Floor plates on. The foot plates I've cut out of thin aluminum and glued. The wooden slats to be his plastic strips of 0.5 mm and are already painted wood colors.

Rudder before and after correction with control lever. The hull is behind even shortened. The struts are primed ready for painting.
Tailplane with elevator are too large. And with pencil correction. Must have also shortened after the hull cuts.
Middle wing inside is too long. I don`t know if I make a change quote here.
As the last of the finished engine from the rear. In the front I drilled the propeller shaft.

Post by: radio on January 18, 2016, 05:52:02 AM: I started again to build on.
The axis wing on the bottom changes done.
Fuselage reduced by approximately 5mm, the end of re-sanded and filled, for the tailplane struts the holes (they are wrong !;).
Tailplane and rudder new representation of the ribs on the right site attached with thin drawn threads.
What is missing is the connection between the two rudders and the control horns.

Shortened lower wing at each end by just 2mm and sanded.
Reduced middle wing to size and glued the parts. For the struts attached new and old holes with putty closed.
Elevator, rudder and aileron completed. All can now be pivoted.

Post by: radio on February 08, 2016, 06:26:15 AM: It went even further back. In addition to the painting of the surfaces, tail and other things.
Have I built from pine strips a Jack Stand and brake pads for this plane.
Unfortunately, the steel wire lies not solder even after several attempts. That's why I started from brass wire to solder the body cage. The first side is finished and the other I started with the remaining wire. New wires are ordered.
Cheers
Martin

Post by: ScanmanDan on February 18, 2016, 04:24:41 PM: Bravo Martin the frame look very cool.

You must have nerves of steel as all I could think of was the heat from one solder joint flowing to the next and unsoldering that one. Every time I have tried to do anything more than a simple sweat solder job the whole thing collapses into a heap. I never got the hang of controlling the heat flow within the work. Very nice to see your frame looking so very good.

I may have missed it, but are you planning on leaving the internal framing exposed, or are you just being thorough? Either way, I admire your solder work.

Edgar that will be nice, but I think I will it scratch build with my thin alu sheet.
The kit is so bad, nothing will be correct.

I guess, you need help with PE ammo trays in 1/28

Very nice Martin.
Edgar,
I think there are at least a few of us who would benefit from any parts you are willing to make for this old kit! I am certainly one who would buy ammo boxes, chutes, Fuel tank, etc

Post by: radio on April 23, 2016, 12:42:17 AM: The ammunition box is completed.
I ordered a propeller of Copper States and get. He is very handsome! Unfortunately, the shape is not quite as I need them. So it must be reworked to the hub (too large) and sheet (form). On the pictures you can see a prop as I had already precut him.
Cheers

Post by: coyotemagic on April 23, 2016, 12:50:51 AM: Beautiful job on the ammo cans, Martin! And the prop looks promising. Are you going to use the one that you started or are you going to reshape the one from CSM?

Bud

I will reshape the CSM prop.

Post by: lcarroll on April 23, 2016, 02:22:56 AM: Martin,
That's a great bit of detailing you are doing so getting the correct prop makes sense. The CSM one looks to me like an Axial prop or possibly a Heine, your hand carved looks to be the Neindorf prop for a Dr.1. In English we say "the devil is in the details", it's so true! Keep up your magnificent work, your model is one of a great kind, nicely done so far!
Cheers,
Lance

We have the same in German" Der Teufel steckt im Detail".
Because the prop would be the Camel one. See Picture.
