Title: Fokker Dr. I Eduard 1/48 + Oberrursel Taurus Models
Post by: xmald on December 21, 2015, 06:45:05 AM: Hello,
In order to relax after much demanding Fee build I` ve chosen to finally build one of my four Dr.Is.
The cockpit took me a week to assemble:

I`ve chosen to build the Frommherz`s mount:

Then for the first time I`ve tried the streaky Fokker camouflage, I know it could be done so much better (maybe next time).

I like the streaking camo, which colours did you use?

Beautiful work in the cockpit.

Camouflage is difficult, but yours is very convincing!

Bravo!

I only hope that the streaking effect is not overdone. A friend of mine has pointed out that a decal streaking would be more to scale...

Post by: malaula on December 23, 2015, 02:46:00 AM: Decal streaking might be more to scale but in my oppinion much too clean...the streaking was applied by hand with a brush,no straight edge or masks were used !

That is exactly what I think, but I have my doubts when it comes to the effect I`ve acheived here...

Post by: xmald on January 06, 2016, 09:56:44 PM: The model is almost finished... It happened so quickly ;) The more I look at the Streaky Camouflage on my Fokker the less I like it. I`ll certainly try to do it better next time... Some minor touch ups and a prop and she`s ready...
Sorry for the poor quality pics. It`s pretty dark outside.

Post by: uncletony on January 06, 2016, 10:50:09 PM: Very nice Filip! If it's not too late I believe the front facing portion of the cowling should be white; this is the typical marking for Jasta B triplanes...

Post by: uncletony on January 06, 2016, 10:55:41 PM: Ah, never mind, Frommherz's tripe didn't have the white face. (Just looked it up)

Carry on!
