I agree with my Amigo, Bob! I'm no fan of the Dr I, but this one is sublime. Your streaking is inspiring me to build one.
Cheers,
Bud

Is the streaking done by hand or is it a decal?

Title: Re: Roden 1/32 Fokker Dr I
Post by: ModelingBob on August 11, 2016, 12:23:07 AM: Thanks for the kind words! The streaking is done by hand using a rake brush and olive green Model Master enamel paint over Mr Color Sail Color base. Think of a combo of dry and semi-wet brushing.

Post by: gedmundson on August 13, 2016, 10:35:04 PM: Great looking model, Bob. I really like that scheme - very inspiring. I also have to compliment your streaking job on the camo, since you've really captured the "look" of it well. Looking forward to seeing more of your work here.
Cheers,
Gary

Post by: Suffolk Lad on August 15, 2016, 08:49:11 AM: Excellent result you have there Bob - really striking. As others have said - a superb job on the streaking, very realistic finish all round.

Post by: ALBATROS1234 on August 15, 2016, 09:49:28 AM: great work on a nice kit,roden was worshiped for this kit not long ago then wnw came along and made biplane modelling so easy many got complacent and insult roden and refuse to build their kits wanting a wnw dr.1 which would only be 15 to 20% better for 3x the price simply isnt worth it to me. you can pick up these kits for $40 or less all the time and they are damn nice.

Post by: Doug Mace on August 20, 2016, 02:45:00 AM: Yeah, man...indeed beautiful...very tight. And, yes, quite doubtful Tripe streaking could be done better.

WOW! That is really, really nice. That is my favorite paint scheme for that aircraft.

Although I have already commented on this excellent build I have to add my agreement to this one! Having built two and working on two more right now, I think Roden kits in general, and the Triplane in particular, are much maligned for no real reason. That being said I would buy a WNW DR1 or 2 :-X Do we need a WNW DR1, probably not really!

Absolutely agree. I picked up two of these for £50 at Marionville Models in Edinburgh and, at £25 a pop, I have no qualms about talking a razor saw / knife / file to them as takes my fancy. My WNW Alb OAW though would cost me £82 plus postage to replace if my hand slips badly....

Bob, your Dr.I is beautiful. I love the streaking and the effect on upper wing is terrific. Well done Sir!

Post by: Monty on September 29, 2016, 02:57:23 AM: A really lovely model Bob! A great, Classic colour scheme, beautifully done with some great slightly weathered effects... Masterful! I think it's a great model - I will build mine now! Well, Maybe.... Your amazing model is true inspiration... Regards, Marc
