Last one.

The Richtofen figure is from the WnW Albatros DV kit. I finished that in the colours of LT Wolf of Jasta 5 so included the figure with this kit.

Hope you like it.

   Really like the shade of red you've achieved here LT, what brand/mix did you use? Great rendition of the famous Red Baron machine, as Rick says, every collection has to have one!
Cheers,
Lance

Your triplane looks excellent, LT. Displayed with your MvR figure it really puts it in perspective. Very impressive indeed!

Great looking DR1 with good shade of red used.   Excellent painting work on your MVR figure as well.

Dave
As we say in fencing, what's the point!

Great build and presentation LT.  As mentioned, the Red is a nice rendition and gives it a realistic appearance.  A real "Barn Burner" LT.

Yes, it's the rules. There has to be a red triplane in every collection. Yours is particularly lovely.

Super Dr 1 with, as others have commented, a very realistic shade of red. The figure is extremely well painted and adds a distinctive touch to the vignette.

Thanks for all the kind comments. Lance the red is Tamiya X-7 straight of the bottle but thinned. It has gone over black which had highlighted the ribs to give it some variation.
