Wolwe82 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello guys, here is my latest finished kit - Eduard´s nice Fokker Dr.I 1/48. The kit was built as a birthday gift As usualy there was at least a bit of scratchbuilding, even though most of it is not visible on the finished kit - removed internal structure on the cockpit sides, made new one from evergreen stripss - added details to the cockpit floor - completely reworked bulk behind the seat - the seat holders were left from the original part, rest is home made from evergreen strips and tabs - created new fuel tank to the front section - thinned the front fuselage top part - added padding around the cockpit from lead wire and rubber band from cable - added details to the machine guns - added details and wires to the engine Sadly one of the machine guns got broken before the photos were taken and carpet monster swallowed the tail struts and there was no time to make new one.. And finished model here I m not happy with the propeller both back and front side were made by same process, but on the front side, the differences between dark and light wood almost disapeared Well, thats it for now thanks a lot for looking and have a great day guys 47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just beautiful! And the slightly offset control surfaces add that vital sense of life to an otherwise rather monotonous finish. Sterling work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmald Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Great looking Dr.I mate! It really is a striking scheme you`ve chosen. I wish mine was half as good as yours. The Axial logo on the propeller is upside down - the Eduard`s instruction is wrong there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Edmundson Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Very convincing model of 425/17, even down to the exact cockpit area scratches on the paint. Nice work !!! There is one feature of 425/17 that you didn't recreate however, and that is the gun padding horizontal member. It has a characteristic cut out close to the port machine gun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Best DR1, I've seen this year, superbly made😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks a lot guys for your amazing comments, i know there are many issues you could find on the model, but i m happy you like it To Tony - damn, i saw this photo (i tried to recreate the "scratched" or removed paint using this photo), but i never noticed the MG padding cut out... little excuse could be, i saw more zoomed out version of the photo but still.. damn.. thanks for the info - i cant change it on the model as it is already away, but i can remember it for next build of this one.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauls9cb Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Gotta love Fokker's Tripes. I'm in a WW 1 mood now, but usually do BoB subjects. Can't decide whether I have the space for a WnW 1/32 collection (where's their Dr1?) or should I plump for a 1/48 scale series from Eduard or others who've released a range in this scale. Nice amount of detail on yours though. I think you put the Fokker spec plate on the wrong side of the cowling. It's normally on the right (starb oard) side. Great build though and suggests to me that I can avoid the expense of WnW kits. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Henry Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Very nice work. I currently have the Eduard dual combo 1/48 DR I's on my workbench. After I complete a couple of other builds I hope to finish them. They are nice kits. Bob H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
