Need 1/72 decals for Dr1......
« on: December 15, 2022, 01:10:20 AM »
I'm not gettin why these are so hard to find. I would have thought that sheets would be available for multiple aircraft in both 1/48 and 1/72 all day long.

I have the old Revell 1/72 but it has no decals.



Looks like a nice little kit, who made this originally anyway?

Anybody with some extras or can point me to a sheet, many thanks....
Thanks,
Allan Buttrick

Blue Rider (UK) have some decal sheets in 1/72 for the Dr.I, you can buy them directly from them or from Hannants.

Another option is contacting Revell directly - they've been tremendously helpful to me in the past for replacing missing or damaged parts/decals at no cost: https://www.revell-service.de/en/spare-parts-service/

Pretty sure that is a Revell home grown kit. Replacing the ancient 60's one I think it's not a bad little kit. Maybe released early 2000s.

Yes, Revell did a re do on the 1/72nd Triplane. Here is mine.   
As for decals I will look but not sure if I have any.

Microscale, later renamed t Superscale, did a couple of sheets of decals for the Dr. I.  #72-665 is one of them.

Aeromaster 72-106 is also an option if you can find it.

And this - https://www.peddinghaus-decals.de/advanced_search_result.php?categories_id=0&keywords=Fokker+Dr.I+1%2F72&inc_subcat=1

If you are OK with Ebay, original Revell Dr.I decals are available there occasionally.

Thanks all.
I have a replacement sheet coming from Revell/Germany but that will take many weeks to get here. For $15 US dollars I found a Roden with two decal options, in my mailbox on Monday.
Thanks all, most helpful !!
