Fokker Dr.I strip down 1:72

 

Yep, meanwhile I know that the mechanic wears the wrong uniform. It should have been field grey. 

The wooden parts were colored buff with acrylic color and then worked with oil paints until the desired effect was achieved. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is the kit. I hope that Eduard will issue quite a few of the strip down kits anew and boosts them with resin parts as they did with this one.  

This is what you get. 

and this. 

Bending aids for the wheel spokes... 

...and - most importantly - for the leading edge panels of the wings. This makes conforming them to the shape of the wing so much easier. 

If you can: solder! I was not fit enough when I build this one. When you glue I recommend to add thin strips of styrene at the contact areas to get more stability 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now with access to some decent photo equipment I shot a few more pics. Still experimenting with aperture and shutter speed and not 100% satisfied with the lighting. Hope you like it nevertheless.
