Fokker Dr.1 RODEN 1:32
« on: September 05, 2012, 05:47:22 AM »
I would like to show my first building in scale 1:32 mode, it is Rodens Fokker Dr.1.
I’m building it for testing  such big scale for me.
I found information in internet that it is good for beginners, so I bought this model, mask and PE parts.
If my test will be successful I’m planning to do Rodens 1:32 scale Nieuport 24 bis of course flown by Lt. Gilewicz from soviet  army and Polish service than I will describe fantastic story of this pilot and his plane.
All what I have to build Fokker Dr.1:





I’m waiting for delivery Vectors Oberursel motor.
I’m planning to do Lt. Hermann Beckers plane from 12 Jasta.



My production began 1 August, so I’m showing all was is done to this day.

  Adam,
Outstanding first progress my friend. Love the additional internal rigging you added and your wood work. Looking forward to seeing more and later on that wonderful Nieuport 24 bis.
Highest Regards,

You have started off very well, what you have done so far is excellent, the frame and bracing wires are well done.

Adam,
   Looking very nice indeed. I built this one last year, a very nice kit to work with. I got into a little trouble with the interior frame however, and had to do a lot of "shaving" to get the mid wing on properly, my frame was built just slightly too high above the side panels of the fuselage. Other then that a really enjoyable project. Do lots of test fitting as you go and all will be fine.
Looking forward to more photos.
Cheers,
Lance :)

Thank you for yours nice opinions my friends. :)

 Steve,  this blue card isn’t any special material, it is  overdue “EU travel health insurance”. I needed some plastic plate for pilots seat cushion and it was close at hand.

Adam, it's a wonderful WIP!
I love the internal rigging (as gregory already said) but the most interesting feature is the way you transformed the panel on the back of the seat!
did you use electric wire to simulate the lacing?
