Kirchstein's Fokker Dr.I

The Dr-1 represents my take on Kirchstein's ship after it passed to Udet. The interpretation of the 'Lo' emblem is what I see in the few awful quality pics that exist. I tried to give it a, uh, spontaneous effect by hand lettering it. The streaking was applied in oils using some liquid medium to speed the drying and make it more fluid without being runny. I applied it with the tiniest flat sable in my arsenal of brushes (dozens in various states of useability) The b/w stripes were done in acrylics and were a bit of a bugger, entailing a light spray followed by brushing to make it look field applied....in other words it's supposed to look a bit rough. (that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it). The markings were all painted as well. It's a good kit with few nasty surprises. My thanks to Ken S for the kit and a lot of info and moral support.
