Hi von Mertens,
this is a very very nice triplan, well done!
If you upload your pics on photobucket or any other platform you can share the pics in much higher solution than this. Somebody else told me when I came here new to the forum and it worked well and was quite easy...
Best wishes

Tnx for help, Borsos! :D

So it is much better visible what a beauty you built. Well deserved prize!! :)

That is a beautiful Model, von Mertens. The streaking and the colours used look perfect to my eyes, and the weathering and shading are superb.
Very nicely done and presented!
Cheers,

I just thought I would ask a couple of questions. Is the streaking done using Drooling Bulldog paints? If yes what colors? Are the streaks dry brushed? Straight from the bottle ? Thinned paint? Thanks in advance,
RAGIII

Has to disappoint you. Paints of Bulldog very quickly dry and therefore don't suit for this work, but it is made pigments which are a part of the basic palette for German aircraft, it is Umbra and Prussian Blue. Regards Mertens

Wonderful model and exhibition von Mertens! The streaking on the Fokker
is extremely well done. Great work, my friend. :D
Cheers,
Ernie :)

It is very pleasant to me that you like my work. Because often I hear negative comments accusing me of charlatanism, I want to prove to you that I not only the artist and the historian, but also the modeller. I am not a businessman, my paints, it is part of research and attempt to keep historical appearance Aircraft of Great War. I ask you not to perceive it as advertizing of paints, I just have no time and desire to argue with arrogant people who have neither arguments, nor ability to carry on constructive dialogue. Thank you for your trust! Regards Mertens

Very beautifully done!

No disappointment at all. So you streak on Prussian blue and umber oils? Looks great!

PS: In the hints and tips section there is a thread on Fokker Streaking: Show us your method. It would be great if you could add your Dr1 and explain what you did.

von Mertens,
I really hope you will add your ideas and directions on Fokker Streaking to the Thread mentioned by RAGIII. The streaking on this particular model is superb, probably the best I've seen and I'd really like to learn more about it.
Cheers,
Lance

Сertainly I am glad will share with you the technology, but most likely workshop will be for this purpose necessary. I want to show you my experiments with paints in scale 1/1, in comparison with the original. I used the real canvas and original pigments... from this there are my paints for modellers ;)

N.B. I want to pay your attention that this is not about imitation of a shade, but about give a definition of right pigment

Simply gorgeous, Sergey! Your streaking is the best I've seen.
By the way, I know this is off topic, but what Drooling Bulldog paints would you recommend for The Albatros D.II three color camo?
Cheers,
Bud

Not seen this one before - must have been away when it was posted. That is a first class model and an even better diorama. Congratulations on a well deserved award for this. An excellent example of modelling and presentation.
