Nice work, nice paint on that Tripe.

Good job.

Very nice. I love WWI models, but my favorite scale (1/72) they are too hard to work with. Well done.

They look great mate! Lothar Von Richthofen's Dr.I is especially effective!

Nice work! Love the staining on the Dr I!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Very Cool!!!!!

 

[Njaco]

I never knew that when the DrIs were delivered they were doped in a dark olive green and this ended up being having a streaky uneven look to the fabric. Love it when some one picks this up. Great work!

 

[A4K]

I didn't know that, Njaco! I thought they were deliberately painted like that.

 

[Njaco]

I didn't either for 30 years of modeling until I found 2 references that the streaking was the uneven doping! Quickly stuffed my expertise!

 

[Konigstiger205]

Great work!

 

[A4K]

Didn't stuff it..ADDED to it! (To mine too, thanks!)

thank you guys
As for DR1 camo the airoplane left the factory painted in that way, the upper surfaces were painted with dark-coloured dope applied by bush to achieve a streaky effect. The brush was not recharged after after each stroke but used for consecutive applications until dry, and the width of the stokes would indicates the use of a brush approximately 8 cm. (Fokker Dr.1 Datafile Special ).

That's interesting mate, thanks! I'll take that into account when I do my own Dr.I in Lothar's markings.
I have two Revell 1:72 kits of the Dr.I, one will be Manfred Von Richthofen's machine for my girl (-she likes the red paint scheme!) and the other for me.
