BerndM Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Eduard Fokker Dr.I in 1:48 scale from the stash of half build kits. The aircraft was flown by Lt. Hermann Becker, Jasta 12 based at Toulis, France in March 1918. Decals are from the kit and Eagle Strike decals. It seems my curse to get nothing finished takes a break. The "streaky" Fokker paint scheme with olive green over clear doped fabric was done as a dry brush session which came out a bit rough and the camera found some more glitches but i think its worth to share. Hope you like it. Cheers Bernd 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky Donkey Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nice job. Good to see another "not the red baron" scheme too. I've got an SE5 and fokker E. II on the go at the minute. Inspired me to get on with it! 👍 Mick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have never been able to master the Fokker streaky finish so if I was able to paint one half as well as this I would be pleased! That is a super model and as others have written, a nice change from red. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an aircraft museum here nearby in Hannover and they have some well made 1:1 replicas and the Fokker stands somewhat out between the other aircraft.

That sounds really good, what kits of the SE.5 are you building ? I have two Roden kits in 1:48 and consider to get me the new tool Eduard as well. Currently on my bench is Eduards Siemens Schuckert D.III Weeekend Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always a challenge and no aircraft looked the same. Aviattic is offering streaky Fokker camo decals and i am considering them for future builds. 12 hours ago, Martin Axe said: Beautifully done!

Not been an entirely painless build, it has to be said. My kids usually choose the colour scheme, unless I have a particular favourite, so ended up with the fairly common Grinnell-Milne scheme (red fuselage). The E. II is the weekend kit. That's been a pain in places too - fuselage fit in particular. Might be "user error" of course.... 😂 W-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess one of the Eduards SE5a s will land in my stash in the near future i have studied the various instructions for the kits ( Profi Packs, Revell and the Weekenders ) online and the kit is pretty detailed but quite complex. I had some problems during the build of my SSW.III which is designed similar ( was me for sure ) The open engine is a nice touch ! I have the Eduard Fokker E.II/III as a Profi Pack and will keep your words in mind when it comes to this one. Cheers Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
