With these pictures I open the book report on Roden's Junkers D.1: I tried to extend the interior with some steel wire, the seat belts are from Eduard. For the detailing I downloaded the very interesting building instructions from Wingnut Wings for the large D.1 in 1:32, which is quite helpful if you want to have a good documentation as a basis for detailing. I'm also going to realise one of the WW variants, which I immediately liked: all in Dural/ NMF with only a minimal set of markings.

Watching!
I have done the short fuselage already, I hope one day I can do the long one too.

Is the engine painting finished? I can recommend the WNW manual for this, still available on WNW page.

Thanks for the tip - it's definitely a good one! The printed WNW instructions are next to me, so I want to use a little oily black on the top of the engine and add a little "brass"... But not only WNW instructions, also your excellent work is my reference.

The fuselage of the D.1 is now closed, the only thing to be careful of was not to damage the corrugated sheet metal joints. A related issue arises with the leading edges of the wings: in my opinion, the prototype shows a continuous line around the leading edge.... this will be difficult to depict: I will try to get close to this with careful sanding and the same amount of reworking with a scalpel.

Now it worked with the upload of the pictures!

My favourite plane from the Great War-era, I'm watching!

Yes to clean the wing seem is not that esay. I must admit I used also wings from another kit after I was not happy with the first try. I have both the long and short fuselage kits and the wings are the identical. But that shifts the problem only to a later date, when I will build the long one. A new Part PE set is waiting too 🙂

Thank you for your words, mates! - I completely agree that this is not an easy topic! My approach, which you can see started here, is to work on the front edge of the profile with a triangular file. I didn't even try to bring the corrugated sheet metal runs of the top and bottom together - that would be far too small for me - but simply used the file edge many times.... Well, in my opinion it looks at least a little better now than before, so I'll try to make it a little more precise....

The Alclad metal colours mercilessly bring out all the flaws and imperfections, especially when everything has already been trimmed to a high gloss in preparation for applying the decals like here! The Wingnut Wings instructions describe an effect called 'tiger stripes' on the wing sheeting, which I recreated using various aluminium and dural colours.

The stripes are great - can be noticed, but both shades still looks like aluminium which it was.

Great build so far

Thank you very much, mates!
The opinion on the 'tiger stripes' really really pleases me in a very motivating way!

Roland, your model looks very good. I really like the interior of the plane and the engine. Also your rendition of the corrugated sheet metal looks very realistic. 👍

A few steps closer to a finish: working with Roden decals is always an adventure, happy end not guaranteed! The whole thing is spiced up by the corrugated metal nature.... Well, this is the result; I will of touch up up the unclean parts with a brush, but on the whole it will stay like this - now for the signs of use and wear!

Brave, brave - with good results 👍
I hadn't even tried those.

Thank you! 🙂
The Junkers D.1 is slowly approaching its final appearance - and that didn't work out quite as well as I had imagined! But what the heck, there are some nice things, like the turnbuckles or the two MGs from Gespatch; I'm also happy with the solution for the typical Junkers handles and footrests: a thin, glued-on metal rod was covered with finely cut Tamiya tape as a ridge. Well. I am satisfied with this overall impression.

As the work progresses, Junkers grows in beauty. Thanks to decals and small details the model looks better. 👍

The Junkers D.1 from Roden is now finished, in a way my corrugated metal test run for the somewhat larger Junkers F.13 from Mikro Mir. There are enough problem areas - and also a few insights into how I can proceed better with the F.13, but even so I am surprised by the 'photogenicity' of the little fighter from the last days of the First World War! The markings, which are limited to the bar crosses and two '11s' on the rear of the fuselage, come from the Wingnut Wings documents; they show an aircraft from October 1918, i.e. shortly before the end of the war. Remarkable (and also a reason for my choice) are the 'tiger stripes' due to different metal panelling on the wings, which show up in the right light. I hope you like the pictures, I really enjoyed building it!

Hi mates, I am really impressed and greatly pleased with your comments - thank you very much for this encouragement and motivation! To receive such feedback from highly esteemed modellers means something and makes me.... well, a little bit proud!

@Roland, can you please share the know-how on making those realistic background photos? Thank you

Brilliant work and photoes!

That makes me very happy, thank you mates! Well, what tips would be useful?
The requisites for the shots in front of the coniferous forest consist of a ground plate, the different structures of which I created myself in the 'electrostatic way' with some vegetation, and a simple back plate with a very useful motif from 'Coastal Kits'.
I guess, the real trick lies in the composition of the images as well as in the photo post-processing in the form of a very precise light-dark adjustment by graduation, an equally careful adjustment of the contrast values and the colour tones... In the compositional structure of the photos, I always pay attention to the height of the horizon line. The following applies here: it must be at a 'human' height in order to produce a realistic image and: the vanishing points of parallel directions must lie on the horizon line, otherwise the image cannot appear realistic.
Another principle of this image composition is: get as close to the object as possible! The resulting distortions of the camera lens can - carefully and sensitively used - make the object appear larger and therefore more real, but a second effect is more important: the object is shown cropped due to the proximity. This increases the drama through the attraction of the immediate closeness and thus supports the image narrative.
The above illustrates my approach to picture making, I hope it didn´t bore -but has provided some answers to your question, Arseny?

Hallo Roland,
ich bin beim fotografieren meiner Modelle dazu übergegangen, meine Hintergründe vom Laptop auf den Fernseher zu übertragen. Das hat den Vorteil, daß man die Hintergrundgröße problemlos an das Modell anpassen kann.

Absolutely beautiful build and photography. The "tiger stripes" provide a nice bit of visual interest and realism. I enjoyed seeing this built by both you and bughunter. Working with the corrugated skin is interesting.

Hello Roland, When photographing my models, I switched to transferring my backgrounds from the laptop to the TV. This has the advantage that you can easily adjust the background size to the model.

@Roland, Danke schön! I will use this as the reference for my next models. Actually because of your Junkers, I've returned to my build of Fokker Dr.I (by Roden). Thank you for inspiration and instructions!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you all for the feedback! Dieter, this is a great idea and new to me, in fact it offers so many possibilities, I will try it out. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am delighted to be able to provide inspiration!
