Outstanding builds Rick, beautifully done. Especially like the streaking on the F.I. Congrats on your efforts.

Well Done Amigo !!!!

Fantastic three builds there - really envious to see you bring !three! kits to completion at such a fine level of detail and finish!
-
Rick,
What a long haul this has been for you! I envy your ability to work three Builds at once, I failed when I tried two! Very nice, all three and I particularly like the F.1 as well, the streaked finish is outstanding. I know the D.VIII is, like mine, on hold so what's next for the modelling "machine"??
Cheers,
Lance

Juan, Ed, Patrick, and Lance. hanks for the Comments Guys they are greatly appreciated. Lance you are correct in that this was a LONG HAUL! Building three at once just takes three times as long 8) As for the next projects, with the EV on the backburner I am looking at a Jasta 10 OAW albatross DIII (Roden), and Perhaps the WNW Camel ( Hoping for 43 sq. aces from Rowan ::)) or Another SE5a. ( McCuddens 4863), WNW and True Detail conversion.

Fantastic builds Rick! Outstanding work! I'm embarking on the Roden 1/32 Fokker F.1 project just now so am going through your various posts for tips. Thanks for sharing your builds with us.

Thanks for commenting Dave, Greatly appreciated! I am sure you will do the Roden kit proud. I would suggest getting the Part of Poland PE. Some good stuff is included!

IMHO, you NAILED the shade of red on 425/17 (care to share your formula??) and the streaking on 103/17 (you obviously followed Lynda's caution ;)). With the lighting angle in the first photo of the latter, one can see why the the colo(u)r might have been described as "silver" in the British after-action reports.

Thanks for the great comments Rob! As for the DR1 color, start with a base coat of any Tamiya beige/tan. Use Drooling Bulldog Kraplac and screw up the application by allowing huge drips to come out of your airbrush cup and then strip some of the paint off. Drop a coffee cup full of coffee on the model and give up. Go back a Month later , sand and then re-spray with Valejo red deep. ::) I am attaching a link to the build thread about when things went South... and later recovered!

Nice trio! I like the colors.
What's the scale of the Encore models, also 1/32 I guess?
Cheers,

Thanks for the comments Frank! As always I appreciate the feedback. The scale of all three is indeed 1/32nd.

Rick you have pulled off a small piece of magic three times, (well four actually, given what happened to one of the triplanes). A super trio in every way and I too admire your perseverance in building three at once. Like Lance I struggle with one....!
