1/32 Roden Fokker DR1
« on: November 18, 2021, 09:12:12 PM »
Dear all,

My completed Fok. DR1 wearing the markings of Joseph Jacobs, summer 1918.

Thanks to those who kindly followed my progress on this one.

So here it is, warts and all:



























Hope I have not put to many pictures up ...........

Regards

Dave

There are never too many pictures of fine models. It is a Dr.I in my all-time favourite markings. Very well done. Though, it would be fine to install a Clerget engine which were reportedly used by Jacobs on his Dr.Is.

A fine model, Dave.  You've done your due diligence by correcting the kit's well known issues!
This is my favorite livery for the Dr.1.

Thank you Rick, Kensar and Prez!

Prez - yes, a Clerget would have been great but think of this as an example of his machine before one was installed.

Nice model Dave - looks really dramatic.
I'm sure you're right: he's bound to have flown it with a standard engine before trying a Clerget.
A fitting tribute to a man who later refused to join the Nazi party!
Excellent

Thank you kindly Sandy, Monty, Andreas, Borsos, Fredrik and Bob!

Forgot to mention that the decals included in this kit were very, very good (although thin so careful handling required) and gave me no problems - hopefully, Roden are improving the quality of thier included kit decals.

Regards

Wonderful result from the old Roden kit Dave. Sorry I haven't been around to follow the build, I've missed a treat here!

Cheers
