Top job Dave! A friend of mine build a flying full-scale replica Dreidecker and painted it in the simpler Jacobs scheme, this is definitely more eyecatching!

Lovely work Dave, I will be using your build guide to help guide my DR1 build when I get it up and running next month ;)

Beautifully done Dave. I have a soft spot for Jacobs' bird, though i've never built one. I think you've inspired me to move it up the build pile ;)

Cheers,

Dave,
 Myself and several others have Mentioned the "Finish" of your DR1. I assume it was Hand Brushed as always? Well Done!!

   Very nicely done Dave, a beautiful job on a Kit that really stands well despite it's age. I have one left in the stash and two completed (along with a Meng version) however after seeing this beauty I'm thinking one more (in black) wouldn't hurt. That's great news regarding the decals, Roden have always done a great job on providing attractive schemes but come up short on the quality of their decals, this is encouraging!

Thank you all very kindly, gentleman - I really appreciate it.

Brad/Lance/Andrew - I'm pleased this one has inspired you to have a crack at it.   Roden kits always need a bit more in the way of input from the modeller but they always look great when built.  I've always liked Roden kits on the whole.  The improvement in the quality of the decals was a pleasant surprise and one I hope they continue with.

Rick - Yes, confirm this one (as with all my models - I use a 'hair brush' as opposed to an airbrush!) is entirely brush painted so thank you for comment regarding the finish.

Regards

Stellar work Dave - this is one of my favourite schemes of the Dr.1. I have such trouble painting black aircraft...and avoid it! But you've carried this one off remarkably and I have to congratulate you on this build. Brilliant result!

Sorry I am late for the party Dave - you know why! I am still looking for the warts - perhaps when I get to see the real thing I will be able to find them!

Another of your outstanding builds - especially the very fine finish that you achieve on all of your models. I am really looking forward to seeing this one for real - and later winning in competitions.

Nice work! I like the light sheen in the last shot, personally I like that more than dead-flat :)

I can only join the chorus of praise: Nice work! A black model is not easy to done, and also difficult to photograph. You managed both.

Cheers,
