Post by: Mike Norris on July 23, 2017, 04:54:39 AM

Hi all,

It’s been awhile since I last posted a completed model, so here's my latest 1:32 scale model, the Roden kit of the Fokker DR.1 Triplane, Jasta 2 March 1918.  Flown by Wilhelm Papenmayer (4 victories).

A PDF downloadable build log can be accessed here:

A very impressive & well presented build log, thanks for taking the time to produce that.

I've kept a copy for reference, it will definitely be of great value.

I agree completely with My Amigo! Very well done all around!! I especially like the metal panel on the lower fuselage and the work done to the interior.
