Revell 1/28 Dr1, 425, FINI, w/figure...

Beautiful work Allan. Red triplanes are definitely not my favorite WWI subject but you have done this one to an exceptional level.

VERY nicely done.  I like it a lot.

Well that turned out very nicely, Alan - you've done such a beautiful job on an ancient kit. Love the little touches around the cockpit...essential detail when making 425/17 
Cheers,

I agree 100% with My Amigo! Lovely and might even inspire Me to work on the Hobby Craft copy of this kit!

Paul at ModelCeller sent along this magnificent pre-production MvR figure sculpted by Mike Good to go along with my olde Revell 1/28 tripe.

CLEARLY, I'm not a figure painter....I love the figure and blends perfectly with the old kit. Just wish my figure skills we not SO rusty...















I'm fine with most everything except the face, I need to do better...

[Tim Mixon]

Looks great Allan!   A perfect accoutrement for your tripe. 
By the way, your figure painting is light years advanced of mine!

Hi Allan,

You did a nice job.  Looks great next to your build.  I'm pleased you like the figure.

...65 years in the making =) !LOL!  The kit was released in 1957 and no one has ever done any 1/28 figures to go with these kits.  That is, until now of course =).  We (Model Cellar) will be releasing this 1/28 Manfred soon.

regards,
Paul

Love the figure! Nice job, Allan. Looks great alongside your model.
Cheers,

Thanks all. I do love the figure but I didn't do it justice. The clothing and coat, ok. I choked on the face, he looks anemic. I have a figure book on the way, I'll fix him up in the future and do better.

...I choked on the face, he looks anemic...

  I look like that 24/7

No, just kidding. You did a great job on both the aircraft and the pilot.
