Fokker Dr1 Quick Build
Commenti
J R AutoreThanks for your comment, the scale 1/72 helps to make it quick as well as the Dr1 lack of wing rigging. But quick is always a relative term sometimes a simple project escalates
SkyhikerI thought "Quick Build" was a thing of legend. I've never seen one. - at least not one of quality. Good luck. Looking forward to watching you master it.
J R AutoreThanks skyhiker, we shall see I just wanted to take a break from a complicated build.
Album info
I will build quick out of the box using brushes as much as possible with Vallejo paint this is the first post showing the kit.
As the album shows I completed the photoetched cockpit including the seat and seat belts and inserted them into the fuselage halves. I also test fut the mid wing. If I did it over I would forgo the etched cockpit as the plastic inscribed detail on the mold would have been easier with proper painting and easier. The photoetch is not really visible at this scale.
Painting using Army Painter brushes and Vallejo paint. The olive streaking used by Fokker was simulated dry brushing olive over a base of ivory. The dark yellow was applied with an airbrush and appropriate masking
Final Assembly complete of all repainted parts prior to decals.
Decaled and sprayed with dullcoat.
The build took about 4 sessions spread over a week. Not my best work as I did not add the landing gear rigging or the rudder and stabilizing control wires, but it met my goal of just doing a simple build.
