Kit: Revell (1:72)
The new tooling from Revell of the Dr.I finished as Jacobs' reserve mount 470/17. This is built out of the box except for the addition of seatbelts from wine bottle foil. The Revell kit is very nice, the detail on the engine and the guns being particularly good (and IMHO better than the Eduard kit). The wing ribs are a bit overdone and the "suck in" on the lower wings is a good effect but again a bit overdone. Nevertheless it's great to see Revell returning to new WWI subjects.
The plane is finished as the all-black 470/17 using Superscale decals.
