Fokker Dr I (Jasta 11 - Flying Circus)

[kkarlsen]

Thanks Guy's, I'm glad you like the project.

So, after a massive 'stint' this weekend, many of the major parts have come together and has been given a base color.



Fuselages ready for streaking.



The many, many wings and ailerons.



The Jasta 11 red parts...

Cheers: Kent

RAGIII,

Any way to view your excellent pics in the threads above since Photobucket essentially wiped them out ? Thanks.

I thought I had replaced all of My PB photos but it seems I missed some threads. It will take a while but I will go back and replace them.

Ken, your triplanes look terrific in the base colors. Really looking forward to the next step!

looking good Kent. Have you seen the new PE sets, cowlings, and rudders from Aviattic? New triplane decal sets too.  I saw your SE5 dio at Telford, really impressive work. Regards Pete in RI

[kkarlsen]

Hi Pete, yes I'm using the cowlings and rudders from Aviattic.

Richard send me some PE rib tapes, I'm not sure if I'm going to use them. They seems to be a lot of work.

He also send me a 'streaking' set, but I'm not sure about the decals either, maybe I will use them.
In fact I have been looking forward to the 'streaking' part of this build and I have already tested it on the ½ Fokker.

Once I got the rib tapes applied, lets see how the 'streaking' by hand turns out, maybe I will resolve to using Aviattic's 'streaking' decals after all.

Cheers: Kent

The "factory" is producing great stuff!!

Some truly lovely work... very intense doing so many at once! Regards, Marc

Continuing to look great, Kent.

Thanks Guy's appreciate it!

So, I've started the'streaking' process...



I decided to use the same method for the streaking as for the first ½ Fokker. Winsor & Newton oil color
Raw Umber (Green shade) over the base fabric color. It's simple and fast too. Not unimportant looking
at the many wings to come...





Some of the other parts are also close to being finished. Cowlings and wheels etc.



Work on the wings is continuing with the opening on the top wings for the ZAK stamp.



I've spend some time working on ekstra stenciling for the 'Fokkers'



Using the 'Factory Finish & Markings' guide found in Windsock Datafile Special 'Fokker DR.I Jagdstaffeln'.
(A little hint on which Jasta 11 planes I've decided to go for)

Thanks for looking in: Kent
