These are the Eduard F.1 and Dr.1 built out of the box as MvR's early triplanes. The kits went together very well and I had very little filling to do. I used the Rosemont correction parts for the elevator and ailerons to correct the F.1, but the rest of the kit was from the box.
The F.1 was painted overall turquoise, then dry brushed with a dark green. The F.1s had a green cast to their finish, where the Dr.1s had a brownish tint to their green. The Dr.I was painted overall with a linen color which was a little on the yellow side. Then the turquoise was painted on the lower surfaces, followed by the dry brushing with a dark brown green on the sides and top surfaces. the next step was to put the decals on, followed by an over coating of red on the upper wing and rear fuselage.
