[WWI] 1/144 scale WWI aircraft

[Joel Christy]

Hi Ed, 
   
  The Fokker miniplane is about 4 scale feet overspan so I guess it's somewhwere between 1/100 and 1/144. As for SRAM Models I think they are pretty good, except for the price. I've done the SPAD SA.2 and the Staaken R VI; see Internet Modeler Feb. 2004 for the latter.
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

          Joel,
  That's the one I'm trying to find.  Anyone got one they want sell?
  Is it realy 1/144 or is it larger?
  I want to model it in a different color scheme.
  That's why I want to find a set of decals, I really would like to find a set of Jacobs decals in 1/144; dream on I guess.
  Thanks,
  Ed

  Here are a couple shots of the Revell DR 1 miniplane; I thought at first it was a bit of a joke but it's quite good. The model is sraight out of the box and with the original red. Decals are good too.  Cheers,

  I ´ve got the 1/72 Revell Fokker Dr.I kit and I can say it´s a very good one, although it has some issues, specially compared to the Eduard kit.
  I don´t like the red color plastic Revell choose, it is hard to cover with light colored paint if you chose another paint scheme instead of the Richthofen brothers´ the kit features. The rib representation is somewhat heavy, specially on the stabilizer, although the fabric representation sags down on the lower surface of the wings looking correct to me (on the Eduard triplane it sags up). The wing tips look different as shown in the plans.
  Finally, the wheels look suspect to me, more like British ones (only one face having cone form), and the decal crosses are a bit off register in my kit.
