Eduard 1:48 Fokker Dr.1
Part 1: From the Hanger
This Fokker Dr.1, Serial No. 426/17 (Wk Nr 2010), belonged to Vzfw Otto Esswein while serving with Jasta 26 at Halluin-Ost in May 1918. It had the standard Jasta 26 colors (black cowling, with wide black and white bands around the fuselage and tail), and Esswein's personal symbol of a black "E" on a white band on each side of the fuselage and on the top wing. Despite the over-painting, the crosses still showed indications of having been altered from earlier versions. Esswein is believed to have scored his final 4 victories flying the triplane, bringing his score to 12. He was later killed in action on 21 July 1918, after the unit had transitioned out of the Dr.1s in June.

Gas Patch has the best selections of WW 1 aftermarket products.
I’ve got a 1/32 scale Sopwith Camel kit. Looking to get their MGs and rigging eyelets.
Do look into YouTube for how to videos in creating realistic fabric and propellers.
