Dragon 1/48 Fokker Dr1.152......

I think with some practice and tweaking I can turn this into a viable alternative for our Fokker needs.

That turned out amazing.  The colors and streaking look great.

Absolutely Beautiful Triplane! I have stated that I love your masked method for the streaks. When everything is painted and put together it blends together perfectly! You guys are killing Me...I want to do another Triplane  ::)

The six day wonder!!! Amazing results. I thought the pe struts were too thin too but looking at yours they're perfectly in scale.

Really nice work Allan. I may have to copy your technique in 1/72.  I never would guess the struts are photo etch. 
Nicely done!

Lovely work, Alan.  Beautiful capture of the streaking, the Red, and weathering.

That is superb and I thought at first it was of a much larger scale. The streaking and weathering a just sublime!

Thanks everyone, always good playing to an appreciative audience.
I have two Eduards and a Dragon in this scale to perfect the streaking, sadly, I pinged off one of the dragon struts so that will be a V4 in CDL.
Tim, I have two 1.72 scale tripes, I will post adaption of this technique in that scale, please post any progress you, or anyone else make as well.
