Lovely work John. Congratulations!

Thanks AW The Dr.1 now has its decals. The crosses are aftermarket replacements and the stencil markings are homemade. Up until I took these photos, I was pretty pleased with how things were going. However, I've just realised that the undercarriage is in completely the wrong place! I've positioned it exactly as Faller intended, but it should be much further forward, with the rear struts being where the front ones currently are. I can't believe I missed this - particularly as I'd already corrected a similar problem with the cabane struts! Thankfully, it shouldn't be too hard to fix.... Cheers Cliff

Another beautiful build Mottlemaster

Looking very striking in those IAC markings

Beautiful work Steve

Very nice indeed

Great work so far Robert. It all looks so clean and tidy in the photos, but I'm guessing that it was probably rather messy along away

Thank you Robert. It's painted and glossed now ready for decalling. From the little I've read (mostly on Britmodeller), I understand that von Richthoffen's Dr.1 was closer to 'blood red', rather than 'scarlet'. I've used Vallejo Model Air 'Italian/Ferrari Red', as it seemed most fitting from what I had to hand. Note that I've already knocked off the rudders' controls horns - surprise, surprise! Cheers Cliff

Hi Dennis It's nice to see another Dr.1 in the GB and especially nice that it won't be red. When I started to research my own (red) Dr.1, I was surprised how many colourful alternatives there were. Cheers Cliff

Thank you gents. I'm getting there slowly! So, the red kit is now grey - ready to be turned red again . On the way I've added a few details missing from the kit: tailplane struts, control horns and wing-tip skids. I'm not sure how many will survive to the end..... Cheers Cliff

It's nice to see that you're continuing your tradition of adding very small details to very small models. Bravo!

That's turned out very nicely Paul. Congratulations!

It's nice to see yet another nation's take on how to do WWI armour.

That's quite a brute. A nice addition to the GB

Superb work Arnold. Congratulations!
