Here are the final pics of the Fokker I'm posting until I'm finished with all 3 entries. I still have a few small details to do on this one. I need to streak the prop to simulate grain and a few other little niggly things..

:-) Very nice Tim, surprising that you did the Barrons scheme :-) Looks like a nice clean build, but do I detect a hint of a seam on the tail plane? or is this as per prototype?
How are you going to streak the prop? and what red did you use. I notice that you have the, correct, much lighter grey tyres for the period :-)

I usually like to avoid overdone schemes, true, but I wanted to have a match for the Sopwith Camel I was doing. I had been wanting to do a Snoopy/Red Baron display for years so I when I saw both kits sitting together on the shelf of my LHS in the same scale I jumped on them. Snoopy's Camel isn't exactly in the spirit of the AoA campaign, but this Dr-1 is and the Nieuport 17 that is next are.




Prototypical, here is a pic of the real deal:


In the second pic of the model there seems to be a dark streak on the top ot the fuselage in front of the horizontal stab right about where the white square starts that I can't explain. It isn't on the model so it may be a .jpg artifact or something. The one farther back is the start of the stab and is supposed to be there.




No idea yet on the streaking, Probably an oil wash with a stiff brush. The red is Testors MM Acryl Guards Red. That gray on the tires is PollyS Grimy Black. I use it on all my tires, but on the more modern aircraft I will go over it with a black wash to darken it a bit. I left it alone on this and the Camel to be more period accurate.

very nice tim.........are you doing this from memory or dou you have pics of a particular aeroplane you are replicating,as do I? oh also the leather ring around the cockpit in pics of the barons plane,is reported to be black.but,tiny little nit-picks that can be fixed.

Tim, nice looking build. Looks like you were spot-on with that seam on the tail.

Did you paint those insignias?

Airwarrior: Black huh? Oh well, wheres my paint brush. I have a few pics of replicas that I'm going by. Nothing concrete, mostly I'm looking at pics of Revell's 1:28 DR-1 like the one that Mrs. Selrach is building. Do you know of anybody that makes a 1:48 DR-1? When Eduard releases their 1:48 Camel, i want to redo them in 1:48 for a static display and put the smaller ones in an air combat diorama.

Tin_can: They were actually printed out and glued on because I didn't have any decal paper handy. I started to paint them, but my hand wasn't steady enough to hand paint or cut decent masks (the fuselage marking is only 7mm across, that's a wee bit tiny for my shaky hands). Painting was my preferred method, but they came out pretty good anyway.
