Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Uh oh Ron. You might have just made me decide to keep my extras. Now I gotta build one of mine. No fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ron, you'll need to check references for the fuselage planking and the cockpit instrumentation. Apparently they used a flying reproduction with modern cockpit instrumentation as the prototype for this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ron & Ernie Actually, how big is the Fokker? Is it larger then the Felixstowe? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think the wing is about as big a span, but the 1/8 DR-1 has got to be almost 18" tall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I just had to work it out, the wingspan of a 1/8 scale DR.1 is 898 millimetres Or very big, if that is more helpful Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe66 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That's one BIG Fokker ! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Holy Cow; that's 35.43 inches and a wee bit smaller then the Felixstowe. Seems we are really getting into the arena of LARGE Scale Models. Thanks Guys Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I was playing with my DC-6B and a Super G, and even those itty bitty scale models are bloody huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ron ... rock n roll!!! this is going to be great! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ernie Agreed; super large but super beautiful. I'm still banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how and where I would display my Felixstowe before immersing myself into the build later this year. :doh: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ron, Great to see you started on the DR1 so quickly. Will be following your build along. Is that a 1/32 DR1 on the box in the first pic? Larry Yes it's a 1/32 Dr-1 for reference. Thanks for selling me the kit Larry, I am going to enjoy it. As for size, it's 33" wide x 28" long. Ernst there are quite a few errors in the fuse that I will be addressing assuming I can find some thin ply. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Uh oh Ron. You might have just made me decide to keep my extras. Now I gotta build one of mine. No fair! No fair. I thought you were selling me a Camel? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
