[WWI] 1/48 scale F.I Conversion

Thanks, Dave.  I think that's the route I'm going to take and save the DML kit for a Dr.I.

You looking to convert the DML kit?  The best kit for the F.1 would be the Eduard one, you can get the weekender kit for less than $20.00, and it contains both DR1 and F1 tailplane.  Also if you buy the DR1 Weekender photoetch kit it has the metal piece for the lower fuselage with curved piece of cowl behind the engine as used on the F.1.  Decals would be the only issue but since they are black only you could download the F.1 serial # 's off the Eduard website or something and print them onto clear decal paper on a laser copier. 
Hope this helps

Why would you need one?? It's a pretty straightforward conversion: new horizontal stab from plastic sheet & strip, slightly re-worked ailerons & cowling and leave the wingtip skids off.
