Here is my jasta 11 DR1 in 1/32nd scale. Streaks were acheived by removing pigment with a wet brush on thinned still wet green paint.

Beautiful job Rick, particularly with the streaking. You've definitely mastered that!
Cheers,

That's a great looking bird, RAGIII, well done. How was the kit for the building? Recommended?

Nice finish on the streaking, Rick. I may have to try your method; I struggled with green/brown streaking over the base coat, never thought of your approach removing the top coat to get the desired effect....neat! (and a very nice model as well)
Cheers,
Lance :)

Rick,
OUTSTANDING my old friend. No doubts in my mind she's carrying one of the best examples of the Fokker Streaking I've seen.

Chris, Richard, Lance, Gregory, Des, Adam, Andrew, and Bud,
Thanks to all for the positive feedback! I appreciate the comments especially coming from Modelers who produce such classic and beautiful builds!! A little better explaination of my streaking technique is as follows:
1. base coat of a good Strong Acrylic CDL. Polyscale, Misterkit, and Citadel Paints are all good.
2. I prefer Artists Oils but this one was done using Extra Color WW1 German Topside green.
3. Apply the green to areas where you want to match the darkest streaks, if using a Model Paint Enamel thin the paint before applying. If using oils, wet your brush in thinner after loading with your oils. Apply in the direction of the streaks with a flat brush. \Next use a 1/4" brush dampened with thinner and spread out the paint/oils.
4. Determine the really light areas and with a semi clean brush, again dampened with thinner brush in the direction of the streaks applying enough pressure to remove paint/ pigment.
5. Go back in darker areas with paint/ oils and apply as needed.
6. When satisfied,( remove and add paint as needed), let dry a little and then smooth / blend with a large very soft brush.
Remember you are working wet. Not a problem with Artists oils but if using thinned model paint DO NOT let it dry prior to removing for the lighter areas.
I hope this clarifies my process, if not I did a tutorial on the other site :-X

Lindsay,
like most Roden kits it takes some fiddling to get it right. That being said it is an excellent kit overall and I Highly recommend it. This was the Encore version from Squadron which includes Resin and PE. The resin is mostly for the F1 although the Engine is also included and is a bit nicer than the Roden original.

Steve, thanks for your comments, they are appreciated. As I said I usually use oils and I think this change worked well because Extra Color paints are Glossy and therefore take longer to dry making them closer to the properties of the oils when thinned.
