Fokker Dr. I Eduard 1/48 + Oberrursel Taurus Models
« on: January 20, 2016, 07:24:31 AM »
Hello!
My model depicts Hermann Frommherz`s Dr.I from Jasta Boelcke.
It has been an utterly pleasant build - almost OOB finally. I have used a brilliant Taurus Models Oberrursel Ur.II engine - as always it was a pure joy to have an opportunity to have a contact with a little piece of divinity - Tuarus`s products are totally magnificent  ;) ;)
I have added some minor details to the cockpit - such as an oil pulsator and a flare pistol. I`m not happy with the Fokker camo - I think I`ll use the oil paints next time. I`ve moved the inspection panel on the upper wing to what I believe its correct position.
The prop is as usual a wood carved one. I`m aware that it`s not the best model of the Dr.I but I hope to do better with the other three I`ve got in my stash...

Thanks for watching!

What a beautiful little Dr.I, Filip!  You should be very proud.
Cheers,

What can I add? Brilliant especially the propellor. I think that the camouflage looks very good too - nothing to worry about there in my opinion. Many congratulations.
