1:48 Fokker Dr.1

Post by Cherrylock »

This is the famous Dr.1, not a Richthofen!!!

The kit is from Dragon inkl. some PE parts, it has not so much parts, but enought details, the decals with is a little bit yelowed.

The markings are from Lt. Josef Jakobs, best Dr.1 pilot, he has a special Dr.1, he used engines from shoot down Sopwith aircrafts. So you have to change the engine and the propeller

Very nice. The engine wasnt the only mod to this aircraft apparently. They had a custom support on the undercarriage airfoil too.

Heaps of info on the bottom of this page.

Great work.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
