This is the Eduard Nieuport 17 RFC with a few PE parts and a little scratch building (Mostly the Interior) Wood effect is as usual, PolyScale CDL streaked with artists oils burnt sienna.I tried brushing at an angle in order to represent the strips used in construction of the original. The Aluminum Dope is Testors MM Acrylic Silver with a touch of Ghost Grey. More when the model is completed.


Karl Emil Schaefers Albatros DIII

Kit: Revell Germany (1:72)

This is the Revelle of Germany Fokker DR1 built primarily Out of the Box. Added a couple of minor details to the interior. The markings are for Robert Tuxen, Jasta 6. This model was utilized as a demonstration kit for a tutorial on using artists oils to represent the Fokker Streaking.

Kit: Revelle Germany (1:72)

This is the continuation of the jasta 6 triplane build. The lower and upper wing are permantly attached and Jasta and personal markings added.


Richthofens' Dr1

Kit: DML (1:48)

This is the 1/48th DML Fokker Dr1. It is built primarily OOB,with the exception of the Tail plane{from the Blue Max Kit}. Elevators drooped for more candid appearance. This build represents 425/17, after the first markings change. Red is Floquil British Crimson darkened with RR Boxcar red. This is a rebuild and repaint of a failed attempt. I therefore need to repaint exposed engine and landing gear. MGs are currently just placed in position thus a little skewed. I know, another RED Triplane! But necessary for a JG1 collection.
