Hello Everyone ... I am jumping in with a build for this if you dont mind. I have an Eduard 1/72 Fokker DR.1. Though i am a fan of the Red Baron and his Red Fokker. There are at least two of them in this build now. I have been a fan of Lothar von Richthofen for awhile and so I will be building his Yellow Fokker DR.1. This will be my third bi-plane build since coming back to the hobby a few years ago. It will be my 1st build of a bi-plane with rigging. I have to try that sooner or later. So here is the chosen scheme for my build.
Here is my actual kit.
Sprue shots.
Again this will be a first for me with rigging. I intend to do my best and get as close to reality as possible, but may cheat a little in the end. I do have Lothar’s fokker’s serial # as it came as an option in the Revell Fokker kit. To be honest i also have a Roden Fokker D.VIIF with Goering’s snow white colors & markings as well. The only thing that stopped me was the Rodens reputation. I will save that until i have a few more bi-planes under my belt.
I give advance warning as this is my 3rd build on my desk so progress will be slow until i get those builds to paint. If you have questions, comments, or jokes please feel free to do so.
Dennis
