Revell Fokker Dr.I scale 1:28

[radio]

First I think it will be the only one in the big scale.
The next builds again in scale 1:48.
When the CSM parts will come. I will build the plane from Lt Josef Jacobs Serial 450/17.
The model needs very much work to come out in a beautiful.
I have already begun the wooden parts of the sides, floor and cut back up.
From brass residues to cut, grind and turn the light cartridge holder. The holes for the illuminating cartridges still to be made.
The fuselage halves internally are largely changed inside

Oh I'm so looking forward to following this latest project of your's my old friend. The ancient 1/28 Fokker Dr.I can be a real showstopper.
Highest Regards,

Hi!
I've got good memories upgrading this kit a few years back. I took great pleasure redoing the cockpit and had to carve a whole new propeller from balsa wood.
The biggest problem was to detail the ugly looking Oberusel. No means to change the cylinders.
Hope you'll find a way to go around that problem;
Will be following this built!
Ciao

I have to change the cockpit floor. Because I have now some pictures and plane from the Fokker-Team Schorndorf web side.

Its a bear at times but the only real issues I came across was the Cabane struts fitting.... other than that it flew together.  had it done in roughly 2 weeks.
