Another Fokker Dr.I in 1/72 Scale
« on: November 27, 2024, 07:56:35 PM »
I felt the need for another Fokker DR.I so I chose the one flown by Leutnant Wilhelm Schwartz of Jasta 13, my only other is that of the Red Baron.  This paint scheme was fairly easy to attempt, even though my painting skills pale compared to most.

LOL!  I'm still trying to pick off all the "hairs" on the 3D printed model...thought I got them all.  ::)

Same without using the flash, closer to what it actually appears to the eye:

Thanks Matt!!!

My skills still pale in comparison to most, but I can notice I'm getting better.  Plus I'm improving on dealing with decals, especially the lozenge patterns.  With these 3D printed planes it's difficult applying decals on the fuselage when the wings are already printed in place, have to make lots of slits to get them around struts and such.
