[WWI] Fokker Triplane Builds

[Barrett, Kevin]

First off...thanks all for the kind comments.

Eric,

Regarding the streak decals, I recommend them, but be prepared to put some time in. For fuselage application:

1) Use a paper pattern for the upper decking and cut out the decals (a little oversized) with the streaking at the appropriate 30 degree angle. 
2) Apply the decal, let it dry, and then trim the access.
3) Apply the side decals (apply a few knife slices to ease the decal around the forward fuselage-to-engine flange) and then trim the access once dry.

Thanks,
Kevin

Very nice bunch of tripes !!!
Few days ago, I ordered a decal sheet of streaky camo. How did you 
manage the fuselage, first the top and then the sides or the opposite ?

All the very best,
Eric
