Roden 1/32 Dr.1 The red one..
« on: November 29, 2021, 12:51:02 AM »
So I finally got my stuff together and completed the rigging on 425 in it's final appearance... according to me. I spite of many researchers claiming 425/17 was visible on the fuselage I can find no photographic evidence of this. I made sure I did the dark squiggle markings on the right below the cockpit and the characteristic chips on the left... and light weathering as befits this airframe! I really enjoyed the Roden kit, there are some slight errors to correct and the Eduard PE is a really nice addition. No resin needed! The Meng one is up next and I really will attempt a less commonly modelled scheme!












More pics to follow!

Marc,
That's a great looking Trip-plane. The red looks just right.
                                       Thanks for sharing you build,

Really awesome rendition of 425/17 Marc! The addition of the chipping on the left and fabric defect on the right looks Perfect! Very well done and a great build log!

I agree with Rick: that is a superb rendition of this famous aircraft. First class build log too.

Hello, Marc

Your Roden Dr1 looks great!

This Roden kit needs a bit of careful work but looks good when built, don't you think?

Regards

Oh yes, wonderful!
Only some pictures are a little bit to bright , you can try a EV setting -1/3 or more negative.

I need to have a red triplane in my collection!

Cheers,

Although I never heard of a red triplane, I really love your fantasy paint job, Marc! Looks amazing.

Yep! It is definitely red! ;-)  Lovely model. I'm in progress with the Hobbycraft kit as 425/17 and I've come to pretty much the same decisions as you with regards to the id number and the weight table. I'm going to do mine as the intermediary step with the white 'bandages' overpainted and just the narrow outline around the 'Maltese' crosses.

I have to agree, while the idea of an all-red Dr.I seems outlandish and bizarre you've pulled it off! Fantastic.
