Revell - Fokker Dr.I

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@MegaAirsoft97 Thanks! this is a great little kit and it´s also really cheap so go get one. Oh and it´s a well-known fact that every aircraft modeler must have a red triplane in his collection, so there is no excuse not to have one !

[@elperroguapoabuelo7033]

I had the model Fokker Dr1 nur In prefare flying the original DR1 !!!

[@BasicModelling]

Nice kit... and a very well made model.. true beauty!! :)

[@acousticreflections1]

Very nice job my friend, for both, on the modeling and the production.

[@UKscalemodeller]

Very very nice work. I have the same kit in my stash but am planning on doing it as someone other than a Richtoffens mount. Excellent work.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

you know i wasn't going to go to town tomorrow, but after seeing this I have to get this plane and paint it exactly like this, this is an incredibly beautiful model :)

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@2002And Thanks :o) WWI models are great fun, rigging can be a bit tricky but the final model is (usually) worth the effort ! You can´t go wrong with this kit, it´s easy to put together and with some work it will be a nice addition to your collection.

Nice, I enjoy building this one. The pre shading looks great, I'm about to build another one, I will try this. May I recommend a dusting of the model with a dry brush and charcoal shades. instead of a weathering wash try dusting with the darker shades of charcoal into the seams. Build another one and try it right on top of the dull coat. I just finished one and wish I could show you. Thanks mate

@tankman13p66 Thanks tankman! I also liked how the propeller came out ;o) regarding your question, as I understand it, the tires of WWI planes were made of natural latex which gave them (approximately) a light-gray colour ; black synthetic rubber came into use only after WWI. But it´s true that the gray I used was a bit too light, next time I´ll use a darker shade.

[@a380flightsimx]

that was amazing i liked the photo-etch like you said really shows

[@MakingModelsAgain]

Wow! Brilliant work, again! I know what you mean about the 1/72 PE, I put an Eduard cockpit in a Revell P-47 and some of the control levers were ridiculously small. I can see why they sometimes give you several.... ping!

[@2002And]

Great video and model :) I've built the Sopwith F-1 Camel and a few other WW1 aircraft but I would quite like to build a few more. I haven't built this kit so this might be my next :) Awesome end result!

[@UKscalemodeller]

Was thinking of painting it as the mount of Karl Willhelm Schultz. A fictional Luftstreitkräfte pilot from the unfinished '686 squadron' series of books. Mabe a whole series of his aircraft, Fokker EIII, Albatross DIII, Fokker DR1 and Fokker DV

[@PanzermansBunker]

Fantastic job. The Red Baron flies again. Too bad there's no pilot figure. Bill

[@PlasticoForEvah]

Thanks :-)

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@a380flightsimx Thanks. Rolling those jackets was not easy but I agree,the photo-etch is a nice touch.

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@MakingModelsAgain Thanks again! One of my latest acquisitions is Eduard´s La-7 in 1:72, it comes with an extremely nice prepainted PE set for the cockpit; I was very excited about using it but after this experience with the Spandaus, well, I´m not as excited anymore

[@singningwongho]

thats awesome mate. your kits are superb. Manfred himself would love it :D

[@lilsix9218]

i have been starting creating my red baron. but i didn't know how to make a body and some part of it and i wouldn't really know the exactly model and im not sure how many wing baron has? some people did three and some two.

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@Shooterkek First I applied a coat of wooden colour enamel (Testors) and when this was thoroughly dry I "drybrushed" with burnt umber oil paint, this helps to recreate the wooden texture.

[@stephenlubera7517]

Beautiful model.i love it!! thank you for sharing.

[@Liesl_Cigarboxguitar]

I'm a girl who loves building model planes, currently building a fokker Eiii eindecker.. Nice one mate is this django reinhardt you are playing.? Great to see your work.. Yeah the revel kits are great and affordable..

[@97sprucelane]

What did you use for the pre shading and what was your technique? I’m just starting this hobby and this is my first set

[@AinKrab]

I have it. However I only used the colours the starter set came with since it was my first model

[@PVN24]

Brilliant model, but the tires sholdn't be black? I like the propellor and guns. Great work it is like real.

[@PVN24]

@PlasticoForEvah Thanks for answer! :)

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@BasicModelling Thanks :o)

[@Kreftoon]

What color/technique did you use for the preshading?

[@propunter]

perfect plane

[@PlasticoForEvah]

@tankman13p66 You are most welcome :o)

[@2002And]

@PlasticoForEvah No problem :) I definitely will but it then! :)

[@1989FordEscortLX]

Wow.

[@Edubarca46]

Excellent model. I don't particularly like 1/72 scale because the models come out too small thus preventing good detailing. 1/48 is much better.

[@MRoesterreicher1]

mafia music :D

[@waldekski5983]

bardzo prosty model, BARDZO ładnie wykonany

[@janm7673]

zgadzam się, BARDZO ładnie wykonany : )
