Finished - Dreidecker zur See!
« on: July 24, 2022, 05:05:10 PM »
Hello all – here’s another completion just off the bench (and hot on the heels of my other 1/48 Dr.1 build); a ‘What if” Fokker Dr.1 seaplane, based on the 1/48 Eduard Dr.1 kit.

This one was just for a bit of fun (so apologies to those who aren’t fans of ‘what if’ subjects).

I added floats, extended the cowl to fit a Oberursel Ur.III twin row rotary engine (from Small Stuff; this engine is a kit in itself), added a vertical stabiliser, added some cockpit details, and replaced the guns with some from Gaspatch. I also scratch built the beaching trolleys and trestles. The German naval lozenge is from Aviattic, and decals are from the Eduard kit and the spares box.

A build log of this one is here - https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=12812.0
















Thanks to all here who encouraged me through this fun little build. This was an enjoyable little project, and looks rather unique in the display cabinet.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

BC

That looks awesome and very possible!! Love the base. It sets the machine off perfectly. Now for the bathtub test right?

Inspiring to the last detail... even the weeds growing between the wooden planks of the base.
