« on: March 10, 2024, 03:25:00 AM »
I have Finally completed a WW1 build.Jasta 6 flown by Robert Tuxen.  Mengs Dr1 has been done on the Forum Many times  so no Build Log. Almost OOB. Streaks, squadron tail markings, and personal Band marking are all painted.

That's absolutely lovely work on your DR1, Rick -

Great painted streaking effects too.

Hey, wait a minute, this one didn't fight in the Battle of Britain... :D

Looks great, Rick, that's a scheme I'm totally unfamiliar with but you've really got a way with that streaky finish.

Lovely work, that's definitely some of the best painted streaking I have seen. It's really hard to pull off and you did a fantastic job!
