Title: 1:48 Eduard Fokker DR1
Post by: zak on December 14, 2021, 09:45:14 AM

I got this from Howard a few years ago, I built one of them and then it got badly damaged, this was a dual kit. I decided it was time to try again.
Lots of cockpit detail, but will it be visible once the fuselage halves are joined?

Is this the kit which includes the choice of some interesting markings?

There are markings for 6 different ones.
I have already used one, not sure which one to do yet.

Hi Zak,
Bet you have Snoopy and the Red Baron on the playlist in the background.
Look forward to seeing the finished item.
Cheers,

Was that by a group called the Guardsmen?
Just Googled it, it was the Royal Guardsmen, look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxzg_iM-T4E
But I am building the version flown by Hptm. Adolf von Tutschek, over 20 kills credited to him.

Nice, like the doped linen effect.
