Eduard 1/72 Dr1

Following on from my thread about the build for this one here are a few pictures.
Prop is carved from plywood (a la Prze. Thanks for the hints and guidance)  :D

Everything else is as per, although I did sand all the struts down as far as I dared (too far in the case of the wing ties which resulted in a rather embarrassed purchase of a second kit just for these) :(

Superb Fokker. I have not seen those markings before - I really like them. The streaky effect of the fabric is first class.

 ;D Thanks Sandy

Cheers Stephen. I liked the streaking effect so much I've been searching for a 72nd Fokker DV to add them to (one of my favourite aircraft ever since I saw a powered freeflight version appear in Aeromodeller many moons ago)

Lovely work DaddyO, it'll be interesting to compare our approaches to this subject when I get around to finishing mine! She looks superb!

Cheers Zac. It's a slick looking scheme in the flesh and something a bit different from red  ;D

Thanks you Rick. It's partly seeing the stuff posted on here that got me started again  :)

Well done, wish I had done half as well on mine when I came back (and then left :) ) the hobby.
