by Ernest Thomas

Kit: Eduard (1:72)

Eduard 1/72 Dr.I, Otto Esswein, Jasta 26.

Only additions were the plywood fairing panels in the cockpit, which were made from copier paper painted wood color. Streaked wings were done with Humbrol Olive Drab over Humbrol Linen. Black fuselage bands are SusperScale decal film, "E's" are converted from SuperScale swastikas. Rigging is .005 surgical wire blackened with permanent marker. Model was photographed outside in the shade with my digital camera. This will be my entry for the "Mannock Justification Project" for the UK Nats in Telford, Nov. '04. "
