Fokker Dr.I

Ulf Petersen
Wow! A Fokker Triplane that doesn't come in red - just for this you should get extra applause! 😉 By the way, the model looks great!👍

Thanks.. yes to avoid the rivet counters and Fokker fanatics I went with the colours of a flying replica.

You can't avoid the rigging critics though

Nicely done. I like the wood grain on the propeller.

Yes Igor. I used the kit supplied wire to do the rigging, which was easy to do, but I was not happy with the fat look, so have now purchased some Ez-line for my next bi-plane, which I hope should look better.

Thanks Roy. My first try using thin strips of tape to mask the laminations, then washed over with a light brown to get it looking like wood. Very happy with the result.

Igor Zhuravlev
Don't worry, Harry, my first attempt at rigging also wasn't impressive. I used a silk thread, it looked very good first, but after being sprayed at, became kinda furry

Nice work

Unusually color (for me) for little Fokker...I have not seen the blue one, but it looks awesome.

It's a color scheme Raben may have used.. although there is some debate about it. Need to source a decal of his Raven emblem to add on the sides of the fuselage
