discussion eduard Fokker Dr1 stripdown 1/72

[Paul Davies]

Got this kit a while back as a kit I could use to practice photo etch bending etc. Got the tools now so thought I would give it a shot.


The first wing is part completed. Flaps need assembling and leading edge of wing to be bent into shape.

A few bits do also need to be straightened.

Its about 90% photo etch. Good kit to practice on.

Are you painting it or just going for the box art look ?

Gonna see how it turns out. If it looks ok I was going to paint it. Not sure on colours yet. Might just go for a metallic finish all over.

You must have bloody good eye sight and loads of patience to build that.Looking forward to seeing it come together.

I keep saying I'm not going to use 1:72 PE again (too fiddly) and here you are building a whole model out of the stuff................Good Heavens.
