[Juan]

The streaking effect on this aircraft is unbelievable.  Continue on this great journey.  Looking forward to your next update.

Wow, Rick, have you ever "aced" that striping effect, very very nice! Following your Build makes me want to dig mine out and get right at it, but I guess I should finish up my W.12 first, only take me a few days I'm sure!
Keep at her, she's a real beauty!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for the very kind comments Lance! I am really looking forward to what you can do with this kit

Indeed, that streaking really captures the effect seen in photos. Great work!

Thanks Justin. I always appreciate when you comment!

Perfect rendition Rick - just perfect. As Lance you are giving me too many ideas 

Great result to date - this is going to be a stunning triple all round

PS: I mentioned that something was bothering me about the markings. I stared at the fuselage cross decals for a while and it dawned on me that the cross was not centered properly as supplied on the kit decals. So I lifted them off, carefully masked around the serial numbers then painted the white back ground. I used the cross intended for a Pfalz DIIIa rudder.

Wow! It looks perfect, best striking effect I have ever seen. Matches perfect with a perfect build.
Hats off,
Manni

Let me also drop in with a comment. SE.5a is regular, just fine, well executed. But what you showed with F.I streaking is absolutely amazing, as was put earlier, this is how I imagined the original Fokker streaking! Great modelling, Rick.

[Monty]

Hi Rick! I can only echo the comments by the very knowledgeable modellers above: Fantastic streaking! The SE5A is coming on a treat too! Your fix on the fuselage cross is Above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty, for sure.... Great progress! Regards, Marc

Thank you Monty. I appreciate your very positive comments. All of you guys, and Gal, are inspiring me to keep going on this one during one of my busiest work load periods of the year

Outstanding!  I have to say, Rick, that your F.1 looks just as I picture it in my mind, based on the photos and written descriptions from McCudden.  You've got the base and streaking just right, IMHO.  That's the way I want mine to look some day!   Very well done. 

Best regards,

Sorry Rick but I have been away and only got back. I can only add to the comments of the others: that streaking is just SO realistic that I have been staring at it for a long time. If you can not do anything else in the modelling sphere, you can certainly show the rest of us how to get that finish right. I am genuinely in awe of what you have achieved there - simply amazing does not do it justice.
