Fokker Dr.I 'Raben'

[JamesHatch]

Hi all,

 

This is my recently finished Fokker Dr.I in the colours of August Raben's bird. The decals are Eagle Editions and the paint is MRP. Some use of Aviattic rib tape and fabric decals, as well as some Uschi wood decal. Guns are MASTER, and the prop is from a WNW Fokker D.VII kit. Used ammo chutes are also from the WNW Fokker D.VII kit. 

 

For this build, I used the Roden F.I kit, but used the parts for the production Triplane version. As well as some of the Encore PE extras, I also used stuff from the PART PE set, such as the ammo bins etc. Quite a lot of thinning of the upper cockpit deck and modification to comfortably use the new ammo bins.

 

Watch out for this build in the next issue of Military Illustrated Modeller, available at all good newsagents and the online store!

This is actually the only one I now have after submitting my work. Once I know my editor has the files and backed up, plus sent to layout, I delete from my computer.

Very nice Jim! Looking forward to seeing the article.

For future reference the DR.I used a shorter Axial prop than the DVII.

 

Best wishes, Richard
