Thanks Ernie for your very quick response! I don't think I had actually loaded all of the pics before your response ;D The streaking was done using Xtra color German Fokker Green. I found that the Gloss paint allowed me to use the same technique that I use with oils. Brush on a line over An Acrylic CDL, then Spread with a flat brush LOADED with thinner. Add more paint where needed and wipe off where you don't want dark green.

Some extra work on the engine cowling to add the centre plate and some rivets. The prop is hand laminated and carved, a Heine version.

Striping is acrylics over CDL Enamel which I worked out on some scrap components. I think I'd consider oils next time........
Thanks for opening this up Rick, and beautiful work top to bottom on yours!

Superb Triplane Lance! The cockpit/Spandau area is stunning. Your paintwork is

would someday like to attempt the completely red version. Thanks for sharing your

Ernie,
I used a mix I found somewhere on another Site years ago; Model Master enamels as follows:
3 Parts MM 2073 (RLM 23 "Rot") to 1 Part MM 1705 (FS 31136 Insignia Red)
The RLM 23 appears pink in the bottle; for the lighter cross fields I went with it unmixed and then lightly over sprayed with the 3/1 Mix.

Revell 1/72 with Pheon decals.
After viewing on the laptop, I didn't realize the turquoise was that bright! It's rather subdued in person.
-
Lance, Ernie, and Patrick,
I appreciate your comments. The German Fokker Streaking Decals were made by Gunsight Graphics and at one time were available in 1/72nd,1/48th, 1/32nd, and one could Special order 1/28th. I guess a combination of things caused the owner/creator, Sean Brian Kirby to Lose interest/Drop out of Production. A shame as they were quite nice.

Hello Rick: This is really a neat scheme and you did an outstanding job on the streaking: always a tricky bit of painting and experimenting. You did a great job on it, and your 1/48 with the decals is equally outstanding, although,...........I do like your streaking better than the decal, it looks more authentic and I know the effort it takes to get the streaking just right, not to take away from your work, but just saying.
Lance: Your is equally outstanding, I remember following along on the build log on this. Great job.
Model nut: Great job on your tripe. I like your back yard photo's, reminds me of south Minneapolis.
Thanks for sharing these great kits and builds

Hello Radio:
I remember a string of emails about the color and markings of this bird. I think you really captured it quite nicely. Outstanding workmanship and attention to detail. What kit is this?

Mark

Okay, Here are a couple of my Aurora DRI in Von Tutschekcs markings. It was an experiment to try to capture the streaking.

Mark,
Thanks for your comments on my Triplanes! I too like the results of my hand painted streaking a little better than the decals. As for your contributions:
First your Aurora DR1 as always is a really nice representation of how good these OLD kits look built up! Your Roden kit is beautiful! Just how I picture 477/17, DSA wouldn't agree but OH Well....
RAGIII

Hi Mark,
As usual wonderful models. I admire your craftmanship very much. Meanwhil i will be dreaming of obtaining the same skills as you all have. Congratulations.

I really like this scheme for a Dr.1, Mark. You have produced a beautiful piece of work.

Nigel

That's a neat comparison between the Aurora and the Roden Tripes. Your
streaking painting has really progressed. I am taken with the look of the
Roden model. Very nice! Have you tried out the oils over acrylics yet? I think
that would be a good way to go, with the slow-drying oils allowing for tweaking.
Gorgeous models, Mark!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Thanks Rick, Patrick, Nigel and Ernie:
@ Ernie: My next Tripe I am going to try the oils over acrylics. I think I will have better luck. This Roden Tripe was my first venture into 1/32nd and trying to get the streaking down after a few other attempts on different kits, not shown. In my excitement at getting this thing finished, I totally forgot to put the instruments in!!! What a Moon Calf! Oh well.
@ Rick: The Aurora kits go together so well. The were made for kids back in the 50's to put together and the fit is really amazing. I know they don't hold up well today, but; they are still fun to build and experiment with and look pretty decent. Lance's Aurora DVII with surgery, really looks the business. I think my Roden effort still holds up.
@ Nigel and Patrick: Thanks again Nigel for stopping by and your comments. Patrick, no skills required, just "dam the torpedoes and full speed ahead" and what happens is what you get. The skill just sort of comes with it. I still consider myself an amateur when I look at the work displayed here. Each one is a learning experience and we build to our own level and satisfaction. That to me is what the hobby is about.

I see I've got to dig this old one up. I built it in 1996. I had high hopes for it at the IPMS Nationals in 1997 and I managed to get a 2nd place.. The photos were taken with a now ancient Nikon 990 digital camera.
It's the DML kit. I don't think I used any after market stuff except for Part instrument bezels. I made a brass frame interior that slid in from the front after the fuselage was assembled. Hand caved laminated wood propeller. Lots of added details everywhere but they look a little hamb-fisted by today's standards. I only had the two photos and the drawing of Udet's plane from the Windsock Dr.I special to go on. Of course the fuselage stripes aren't correct but it's the thought that counts. Plus, I hadn't seen the photo posted in Greg Van's Richthofen's Circus book.
The streaking was done with water color and sealed with Testors Dull Coat
It had an accident several years ago and the upper wing, rudder and landing gear were all broken off. I repaired in half way just to keep it in one piece but it was pretty well damaged :p

Thanks for sharing your model.

Mark

Dave,
One of the BEST examples of this scheme I have seen, bar none! As for the fuselage stripes there are times I look at that photo in gregs book and swear it could be the shadow of the arm of the Mechanic that makes it look like it is cut off. I know I am wrtong but one could argue the point! Your detailing is Awesome as always!

Gentlemen, I have no idea how I missed all of these gems, but I did and I'm sorry. To all of you, outstanding work. Although the Dr.I is probably my least favorite WWI subject (sorry, Steve), I felt pressured to build one back in my first year back at the hobby. This is the old DML kit, not too bad for it's age, and chosen because it came in a really big box and I wanted to make room for kits I really wanted. Steinhauser's (sp?) markings from Blue Rider. The stickers have cracked a bit since then.
Well, here goes...

Thank you, Des and Ernie! Des, don't feel bad, mate. I missed this whole thread, myself. Ernie, I really like the Microsculpt streaking, as well, but on my next streaked scheme, I'll probably do it with oils just so I can feel like a real modeler.

Bud, no need to apologize for not liking the tripe. Thats why there's chocolate and vanilla!! For a machine you dont really warm up to you did a splendid job on it. Using decal streaking is as much being a real modeller as painting in my books. It has its own set of challenges.

Modelnut: I too like your green and brown streaking. I know there has been some discussion about that and I have seen different examples, yours is first rate. I like the Lothar Scheme too. Like Bud, the Tripe isn't my favorite WWI a/c, but it still has it's unique persona with a host of colorful schemes.
Bud: Great job on the Tripe. Using the Streaking decals is like using lozenge decals. If they are there use them. I do like the look of a good hand streaked job, but; knowing the difficulty of getting it right, decals are a great option. I like that scheme and you did an outstanding job on it.

Mark

I'll jump on board with my 1/32 Roden DR1. It's my one and only attempt thus far at streaking so there's a lot of room for improvement in that regard. Aside from not getting the streaking right, it was a lot of fun to mask and airbrush the stripes and I would say that it's my favourite Roden kit to date.

Thanks Mark. I have oil paints(used on Lothars bird),but the other I used enamels to streak.So far I'm.satisfied using enamels for the speed of drying.
Thanks,Stan

Great job, Rick! I am wondering about using the oils. Is the main advantage the
slow drying time? That is a really sharp paint scheme?

Thanks for the kind words, that was done almost 30 years ago. It was just returned to me for repairs by its owner whose grandson violated the ..."touch only with your eyes"... rule; so I had a chance to take some good pictures of it after repairs.

Thanks again for posting the pics for me, and a very nice job on von Greim's DR.I !
Thanks to Pat, Ernie, and Modelnut for your comments.

Thanks Ernie, as always your comments are appreciated. The benefit of the oils to me is certainly the drying time but also that I can work them wet over an acrylic finish. This allows a lot of blending, adding and removing of pigment to make a specific pattern etc. all without worrying that things are drying or getting too thick. As I said in my build review it also is easy to wipe off once or twice if you aren't satisfied with initial results ;D

I would like to show my Fokker Dr.1. (Roden)
It is my first model in 1:32 scale.
To paint crosses I used masks fist time, for checker I myself made the mask.

My friends thank you very much for the nice reviews.
Ernie I painted streaks of paint Livecolor, and the method was similar to the painting of real Fokker. The wide flat brush dipped in slightly diluted paint.
You can see it here:

I really like your streaking Adam! I'll have to go back to your build log and check out the technique. It matches quite well with period photos. Very nice! ;D

My first WW I build, from the early 90s. DML/Dragon's 1/48 kit. I guessed at the upper wing cross fields based on the photo where you can see the ailerons are overpainted. Worse for the wear now; I used Testor's dullcote, which has yellowed badly over the years. On the list to be replaced with the Eduard version.

I have just realised, that I have not posted in this Forum any photos of my 72nd scale Eduard Dr.I. It is one of two (or three) black Dreideckers flown by Josef Jacobs in Jasta 7. I built it over two years ago, overall a pleasant build, much more user-friendly than Roden and better in detail than Revell.

I will add a couple of my Fokker Triplanes to the collection. This first one is F.1 103/17 flown by Werner Voss. I used the DML Dragon kit and an old resin conversion from Rosemont Hobbies with a new tail and cowl, as well as the decals for the F.1 serial and white nose art. I used a light gray acrylic for the bleached linen supposedly used on these prototypes, and did the streaking with Model Master Olive drab with a thin brush. I am not in the yellow cowl category so hope you like it!

Also another early one, this is the DML Dragon 1/48 Knights of the Sky with Josef jacob's markings. It was originally built out of the box for a box stock contest that I had entered, but later on I revised it by adding a Aeroclub Clerget engine and a wooden prop from Martin Digmayer. I never corrected the tailplane but it looks good sitting on the shelf next to my other German aircraft.

Dave,
Two really well done Triplanes! I really like the Voss machine although I am STILL of the opinion a light blue was the base color, JMHO, but with no real proof either way yours is certainly just as likely and is TERRIFIC. Your Streaking looks OUTSTANDING!
RAGIII
-
Thanks Rick, I based the Voss colors on a discussion on the Aerodrome with Dan San and Taz, seems they both agreed that it was a bleached linen color, that's what gave it the silvery gray appearance (How Mc Cudden described it anyway). Supposedly only the 3 F triplanes used this fabric, later ones were clear doped linen or a few did have the overall turquoise color under the streaks.
Dave
-
Hello Dave,
Two really nice tripes. I like the Voss scheme very much. I wonder how you manage to finish the decals against the crenated wing side so well. I had such difficulties with the rudder of the spad.
Kind regards
Patrick

Nice to see your tripes Dave. Well done and painted.
Martin

Dave,
Excellent work on display from you mate - my favorite is the Voss machine.

Hi Patrick,
For the decals I always spray a gloss coat of future over the finished paint, wait for that to dry and use Micro Set/Micro sol to get them to conform to any surface textures. when dry wipe off any leftover glue spots with water or they will turn into brown spots years later... then spray a final layer of future to seal the edges, and when dry spray with dullcoat or semi-gloss whichever is correct for your final finish. Due to the streaked wings and fuselage on the F.1 I painted the white cross fields and rudder first, masked off the squares and then did the streaking. I have seen too many models where the streaking shows through the kit decals with the white cross fields.

Delightful Bob.
A Dragon DR.1 marked my return too, but it failed to survive the journey when we moved to France. The container being marked "very fragile" and set aside for special consideration failed to dissuade the removal company from using it as a secure base for several boxes of my wretched work books. A perfect metaphor for the in-balance in my life!

Just discovered this thread! Here's mine, built a few years ago. Yet another DML 1/48 Dr.1 and my first serious WWI model.
Wood prop from Copper State Models. I think the Spandaus were aftermarket - possibly Tom's Model Works - but I don't remember for sure. Decals by Eagle Strike.

Well, I still haven't completed much since restarting the hobby - still buying essential tools etc - but I do have a few pics of some old models that might not be too shabby to add to the party.
Not sure how well the pics will turn out as its my first attempt to upload, so please bear with me if they are miniscule!
This is an ancient Smer or Merit 1/48 Tripe that I hacked about, probably 30 years ago!!! It won a big 1/24 Harrier prize from Airfix at the Scottish Nats way back then, (and I remember thinking as I was thanking them for it, that I wished manufacturers did larger scale biplanes - how things have changed.)
This was also before I discovered weathering etc, so it's far too clean to be nose-down in a field. (Actually nose-down in a bunch of faggots (!) as the illustration in the book I took it from captioned it!!!
Oh well, fingers crossed, that the pics work .....

Very cool indeed. I like the souvenir hunter gone nuts look to it.

Great naked Tripe!! On scrolling thru this thread I looked at Kalt's build article on Udet's machine. Was the wing streaking straight on the wings or is that an optical thing happening on the reference photo? I'm sure I've missed an explanation....

This is the 1/8 Hasegawa Fokker Dr.I.....so much wrong with the kit. Inaccuracies, omissions, lack of detail in areas....for example, the wings have about half the parts they should have. Still, it's a fascinating build and I'm enjoying (almost) every minute.....grin. A tip 'O' the hat and many thanks to Ed Boll for providing the inspiration to tackle this...um......thing!

I had posted mine in here a few years ago but the pics were hosted on Photobucket and are no longer visible. So I figured I'd make a fresh post with pics you can actually see!
This is my what got me started on the Great War adventure. The trusty old DML 1/48 Dr.1 which was a gift from a friend and my first serious WWI model.
Wood prop from Copper State Models. I think the Spandaus were aftermarket - possibly Tom's Model Works - but I don't remember for sure. Decals by Eagle Strike.
The Fokker streaking was done using Olive Green artist oil paints over MisterKit acrylic paints. As this was also the first time I had done anything significant with oils there was some trial and error but in the end, I was pleased with the results and such was my confidence that my next WWI model was the Wingnut LVG!

Very impressive build Jorg! This is perhaps the best use of the Aviattic decals I have seen. Can you tell us about how you darkened some of the streaks? Looks as though you painted over portions?

As a Matter of Fact perhaps you could add your use of the decals to the Fokker Streaking show us your method thread in hints and tips section?
RAGIII

Rick and Mike, you are right - some additional dark color by airbrush and streaks by a flat brush (oil colors)
Kind regards
Jörg

Hi Jorg:
Thanks - an interesting method I'll need to try next time I 'streak' an Fokker.
Rick:
My DR.1 was an experiment using 'DecoArts' crafters acylics (water based).
I used their Light Antique White as the base coat, then applied the streaking using their Forest Green and Hunter Green, all applied by brush.
The overall effect wasn't too bad, but nowhere near as good as the since released 'Aviattic' decals and especially Jorg's use of after effects,
Mike
-
Beautiful model and display, and the enhanced 'streaking" is very impressive! Great Tripe!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you for your kind comments!
And two more Dreidecker from the time before Aviattik decals. These are the 1:48 Dragon kits, built at least 2o years ago. Streaking was made from acrylics, applied with a flat brush

Hi Steve,
Streaking method on the Roden Tripe was Aviattik decals with additional airbrushing and oil colors applied by a flat brush

Many moons ago (1994). So the old "style"
Built from the old 1:72 revell mould with Aeroclub metal wheels (wrong in the inside side) and propeller and eduard photocut Spandau machine guns. Squadron decals (again wrong, oversized). The well-known Josef Jacobs devil is hand painted. Cockpit made by scrachtbuilt means.

The first of My three recent DR1 builds: Roden 1/32nd scale kit using the Aviattic PE and cowling. I also used just a few parts from the Part PE set to enhance the interior, Finally the axle wing, wheels, and tail plane were the spares from the Meng kit. Streaking painted using Valejo Acrylics.

Here's my just completed 1:32 Roden Fokker DR.1. It's done as Manfred von Richthofen's 425/17, the aircraft he was fatally shot down in. The Build Log can be found at
https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=11857.0
The Kit was done with Decals from the Meng/Wingnut Wings release, Master Spandau guns and the Eduard PE Set for this model. As well it has a hand laminated and carved Axial Propeller.
This as a good solid Kit, it builds well and has no major short comings. It's the second one I've completed.

On a side note, is the George Carroll on the Crispette card a relative?
Steve

Steve,
I forgot it was there until I posted the photo. It's a 1924 Maple Crispette Card of my Paternal Grandfather who played about 25 games in the NHL for the Montreal Maroons and then Boston Bruins over two seasons. He died in an industrial accident before I was born. There's an arena in Moncton named after our family and the hockey team fielded by it; eight brothers and Great Grand Father the Coach! By contrast, I never even made the Junior League level ........
https://www5.moncton.ca/docs/walloffame/en/Team_Hockey_The_Carroll_Family.pdf
You can can read his bio on Google as well.

Thanks Lance. I looked him up. Pretty rugged D man for the Moncton team. It must have been a huge change for him going to Montreal and Boston

Greetings All,
First of all, I did try to post this thread earlier today, but my machine (iPad) decided to fill it with gibberish and I lost half of my images in the process… So I deleted and have resubmitted. I hope no one had responded yet… If so, I do apologize and ask that you please consider answering again, many thanks!
Start of original post:
Let me say that I’m in awe of the meany excellent dreideckers depicted here! I hope some of the talent rubs off! With this in mind, here is my humble (albeit ham-fisted) attempt at building the Meng 1/32 DR.1 (done up, of course, as MvR’s 425/17). This was my first serious attempt at building a Great War era plane since the late 1970s/early 1980s. I’ve dispersed the photos through the text of this long post.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_r7tg9c6ELgDeXFHxwSJKH6.jpg)
It was a basic build overall. I obviously used the kit parts but also added some Eduard photoetch, Eduard “Die Roten Flieger” decals, EZ-line rigging, thin copper wire, Albion brass tubes (well, I tried…) and airbrushed/slopped on a combination of Tamiya, Mr Colour and artist (ha!) oil paints. Here’s what I recall about the build from memory:
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_iveFzh7RXTtmKa2gTMCxVS.jpg)
Bendy, curvy, U-shaped wings: well, maybe not U-shaped, but the mid and top wing had a pronounced dihedral of sorts! After getting too hot and heavy with a hairdryer (and luckily getting a replacement wing donated), I was able to carefully heat if the wings and physically bend them into shape by pressing down on a tabletop at various points inline with the “tapes.” I got the wings quite flat (I know it doesn’t look like it in the photos but they are essentially level now). My right side cockpit combing piece might have been detached as well… If it was, I simply glued it back in place.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_cqPWNzQev8YuCkLWpZNhxE.jpg)
Dilemma over seat and cockpit frame colors: The only metal bits (other than engine) I’ve ever seen from the real 425/17 were black (japanned I guess). The thing is, I’ve never seen a confirmed piece of the exposed cockpit tube framework it’s self. I know, however, from surviving examples of other Fokker designs (non Dr.1s) that this could vary from a greenish color (OAW, Albatros) to a light grey (I recall seeing a Fokker-built Eindecker frame at the Science museum that seemed light grey…though it was so dusty it was difficult to be sure). I also understand that Fokker- built DVII had light grey frames. The problem is, when looking at photos of actual DR1 interiors, the frames look too dark for light grey. Now, I do understand how panchromatic, orthochromatic film stocks work. I also know how camera settings, development and touch ups can wreak havoc when it comes to predicting (deliberate choice of word) colour from old photos. I learned this by being a near expert in HMS Hood and in receiving thousands of 1920s-1940s photos of the ship whilst cross referencing with fleet orders, docking reports, relics. crew recollections and some rare colour footage. Despite this, I’ve never seen light grey look consistently dark as it does for the Dr.1 tubing. Despite this, I erred on the side of caution and made the tubing light grey anyways. If anyone has updated information regarding frame/tube color, please, please respond here as I’m going to be building a couple more of these!).
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_m3L86XFYeS6tb1JwYq8wtp.jpg)
Red: I mixed up some Tamiya based on WNW’s recommendation but tweaked it a bit to match the photos I had taken of MvR relics during my visits abroad (with the understanding that these likely darkened over time). I think I got close when it’s seen in person, but bear in mind that my model photography Is greatly lacking, so the color sometimes looks too bright, or at least inconsistent across my photos. I did attempt to vary the shade of the red depending on the position on the aircraft. The bottom was a little darker where the original plane had blue undercoating. Ditto for the cowl area that was olive. The cross fields are a little lighter as they were once white/light.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_4UdueTbhRxv9hN1xu3akLW.jpg)
Prop: Try as I might, I simply could not draw enough of the parallel laminate layers. I had tape issues as well (I’m clumsy). So, I omitted one or two and painted it by hand. It’s a bit sloppy, but I think it has the “feel” of the laminated effect. Next time I will have to make a precise pencil supporting jig and cut very tiny strips of tape with a metal template (and high power magnification).
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_a3VGupzkogocFxRbBH6qJC.jpg)
Decals: I misaligned things here and there plus possibly omitted a few things. I definitely left too much carrier film here and there. I did ACCIDENTALLY discover that Eduard carrier Film could be removed, but this was not until I was nearly done applying things. So most markings have the film…and it shows.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_qdqMUf1jM2dUcznXbziCdC.jpg)
Weathering: I attempted to make the castor oil spills, but that didn’t come out too great. My weathering of the wings was way too heavy-handed (should not have used black). I also don’t think I weathered the underside enough for mud, etc. I also forgot to put the scratches along the sides of the cockpit. If I could do it again, I would highlight the rib tapes in a subtle fashion, add the scratches and apply more realistic mud and oil stains. Maybe a spot of bird poo too. Naaaaah.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_f5WkEjU6fKnRTPbK8Smx1o.jpg)
Rigging: it’s very basic as I ran out of patience when trying to make turnbuckles, etc. I just couldn’t cut the darn things the same length! I have since learned to make a little cutting jig and have been able to use the copper wire and brass turnbuckles on other builds. I’m still probably not doing it 100% correctly, but I like the effect, LOL.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_eMNi5crF8145iq6NxPD1Gc.jpg)
Clear coat: Things obviously went a bit too dull/matte (Testors). Should’ve used Tamiya instead…it would have retained more sheen.More in the future!: I have another of these 1/32 as well as its giant 1/24 scale brother. Predictably, one of these will be Voß’s F1 103/17 (my wife loves the look of that kite) and the other Jacobs’ 450/17 (I think everyone loves the look of that machine!). I have aftermarket goodies from Aviattic, Eduard and even some of that Quinta 3D stuff (does anyone have an opinion on the accuracy of the Quinta DR.1 line?).
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/fw_allen/FullSizeRender_2nXmsMxcxSUhgs9TsWmdq5.jpg)
Based on what you see here, does anyone have any tips that can help me out when I approach these two new projects later this year? I’m especially interested on the latest “finds” concerning the exposed tubing within the cockpit and of course, with suggestions for converting the engines to the correct type for 103 and 450.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and for any suggestions you might have.
Frank (MightyHood)

Well, the first thing you should do is not be so hard on yourself! I think your Tripe came out great. I like your colours and the sheen is good. As far as Quinta is concerned I have some of their WWII items and they are excellent - just remember even though they're on decal paper they're NOT decals. The more qualified on interior colours are certainly here on the forum and I would follow their lead. You now have an iconic aircraft to start your collection. Congratulate yourself! Two thumbs up.
Steve
BTW - did you do ontheslipway.com ?
-
Excellent work Frank, I like your colour interpretation. Makes me want to do one of the Baron's aircraft (I modelled one of his kites for many a year)!
Cheers,
BC

Your Baron Tripe is an excellent addition to this thread! Lovely little bird you should be quite proud of! Well Done Frank!
RAGIII

Beautiful work Frank! I'd say you've captured the look - especially the colour - very well.
-
Many thanks the kind words! Most appreciated! It’s just the motivation I need to get started on my next two (though they may have to wait until I attempt to tackle the teeny 1/72 D.VIIs the wife bought me! I also need to get back to my 1/48 S.E.5a and start my 1/48 Camel and Co (but I figure I’ll do those at the same time, since they involve essentially the same colors and techniques).
Any thoughts about the exposed cockpit tube/frame color? As mentioned previously, I only went with light grey because that’s what I’d seen on other surviving Fokker built kites (admittedly not DR.1s). This choice has always bothered me though, because in most, (perhaps all) photos, I’ve personally seen (or can at least recall) the framework looks dark. I also believe that there has been some discussion regarding a possible change of colors midway through the run of the aircraft… is this correct? If so, then maybe 425/17 should’ve had a dark frame (scale black perhaps)?
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice concerning cockpit tube frame colors for 103/17 and 450/17?
-
Ditto The above compliments, nice work Frank !

Thought I'd add my pair to this thread since it just popped up
First up is Eduard's lovely little 72nd version with a mix of kit and 'bodged together from bits of decal sheet' decals. This is my first plastic model for more years than I'd care to remember, but was overall enjoyable enough to lead to a growing interest in the genre ;D Painted entirely in acrylics.

Propeller is carved plywood laminations a la PREZ and apart from the wing ties which I sanded too thin trying to make them scale which led to the purchase of a second kit was straight out of the box.

One thing I forgot to do was remove the 'straps' on the underside of the axle fairing - ah well ::)
Next up is the use I made of the extra kit which donated it's wing ties. It's the V4 prototype version of the DR1. Changes needed to every part (except for the rudder) I added etched brass details to this one and the struts are made from filed brass rod. Another carved plywood propeller on a small stuff engine completes the model which looks tiny next to it's later sibling.
