Revell 1/28 Fokker Dr.1
« on: March 05, 2016, 08:44:24 PM »
This one sat for years on the shelf of doom before I finally got around to finishing her.  
I should do a touch more but I'm breaking things left and right and think it's as good a time as ever to move on to other projects.

Look, squirrel! :D ( Okay, I do get distracted easily )

Here are some of my glamour shots.  Thanks to all for looking in on my madness.















I hope you like her.  Good old kit that is older that I am!

Beautiful model, Dan!  The Streaking looks great...was it
done in oil paint?  Regardless, you did a super job, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Nicely done, Dan. Must feel good to polish off an old project, and the result is beautiful. Nicely photographed, too.

That kit brings back a few memories from the 1970's
Cheers,

Lovely DR1 - like your colour/marking scheme.

These old large Revell kits really do build into great models with a bit of effort.

I can only agree 100% with what has already been written. I am glad you finished it - it was really worthwhile as you have an exceptionally well finished model there.

It's a wonderful model, Dan, with a great convincing streaky green finish and some really neat stripes! I like it a lot!

I really like the streaking as well as the scheme you`ve chosen. The aspect of your tripe I don`t like is the propeller - its shape is pretty bad looking - especially the hub.
In general it`s looking really great! Congratulations!
