Title: Kirschstein and Steinhauser DR1 build is Finished. Meng and Roden / stein
Post by: RAGIII on January 17, 2021, 03:46:55 AM: First I want to thank all of the Forum Members for the tremendous support during this build. When I was ready to quit posting you all inspired Me to be better ;D In particular rayb24 showed just how generous this community is. Thanks Ray. Also thanks to Pete for the Aviattic Rudder and other bits!

Build Log:

First a photo of the disaster. Not to highlight the negative but rather to emphasize what I said above:

Now the finished Models: One thing you will notice is that mine are a LOT Dirtier than Marks :o

Well done, Rick!

Post by: lcarroll on January 17, 2021, 06:15:57 AM: Rick,
A spectacular finish and my compliments on your determination! These two are real gems and the third is icing on the cake, you've done some lovely work on this project. As for inspiration, well look no further then the effect right here, three DR.1's more or less underway albeit separately, the first about to be entered in the Completed Models section.
I don't know what's next up on your bench but put something soft on the floor, another disaster might prove a little rough on the nerves!
Cheers,
Lance

These are a real pleasure to view. They'll send any one of us on a "Tri-plane Bender", never to recover until we've built one too.

Post by: Fvdm on January 17, 2021, 07:44:55 PM: Those planes are just gorgeous. When I build a triplane I'll use the thread as my goto guide. If that's ok by you.

Post by: Bughunter on January 18, 2021, 04:44:57 AM: Rick, you shocked me with the disaster photo - I thought it happened AGAIN :o

But your resulting triplanes are very nice and so I could calm down!
All are very nice with the great streaking, I do not know with livery I like more.

It is alse really impressive, that you are able manage those multiple builds at once, in great speed.

Cheers,
Frank

Post by: lone modeller on January 22, 2021, 02:55:01 AM: Those are three stunning - nay inspirational given the setback - builds. They may be dirty underneath but they also look very realistic. A very colourful group indeed - and what an addition to your display cabinet! How you can manage to keep three models on the go simultaneously just beats me!

Stephen.

Thanks Ken! I appreciate the comment. If it helps you decide I have 12 Fokkers in the case of various types, (6 DR1s'). Three SPADS reside in the other case and 2 more will make 5 8)
