Eduard 1/48 Fokker Dr.I Tri-Build - Ernst Udet

Udet's three known triplanes, built in record time for me!  Details over in the Under Construction forum.

And two versions of the striped one, the Eduard and the DML, which was the first WW I airplane I build back in the early 90s when it came out.  The white has yellowed from overcoating with Testor's Dullcoat from a rattle can, although it's hard to tell from this overexposed photo..  The top wing crosses are probable, based on a photo that shows the right aileron. This would have been a late modification to the crosses when Udet flew it.

Hard to get the exposure right on this one with the black and white.

VERY nicely done Drew. just a great looking "Gaggle" as I said in the Build Thread. The finishing, especially the streaking is right on the mark, the colour schemes spectacular when all seen together, and the details are all there. I really like them and truly enjoyed seeing it all come together. Congratulations on some very fine modelling!
Cheers,
Lance

Drew,
I am in complete agreement with Lance. Your tri-build has it all! Details are terrific and the schemes are all eyecatching. The streaking is Top Notch! I enjoyed your build Log and found it to be quite inspirational!

I agree totally with what Lance has said, three stunning builds.

Excellent results Drew!

Your streaking is very well done, and that isn't easy!

I would say outstanding results, but as there are three of them I have to say,

Outstanding, Outstanding and Outstanding.   :)

What a gorgeous trio, Drew!  And your old DML ain't bad, either, yellowing or no.  Just plain wonderful modeling all around and the consistency of you streaking blows me away.
Cheers,
Bud
