Fokker DR.I Eduard 1/48 my red Ferrari
« on: March 10, 2018, 10:26:00 PM »
Hello, 

So here she is, nothing fancy I know. The most boring scheme ever, I know. The most boring aircraft of the Great War, I KNOW but still wanted to have one... The WiP thread: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9346.0

Painted with Tamiya XF7 and artistic oils etc. 



































Best regards
Filip

Outstanding MvR triplane! You have chosen a great shade of red and the very subtle weathering looks awesome!

Most boring, but........most famous! 

The irony is almost as good as your model. ;D

I agree with Rick, great shade of red and the very subtle weathering looks awesome.

Very well done Filip.  8)

Beautifully done, Filip!  If anyone can pull off an all red Dr.I and make look like something very special, it's you.
Cheers,

What the others have written - boring maybe, but still a first class model in every way.

Excellent!  We all have to do MvR at least once in our lives.  I really like your subtle shading.  Bringing off a single-colored model well takes some effort.

You made the all red livery not boring, and made a very good model. It's eyecatching.
