LSP_K2 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 For those with a passion for this aircraft (I really like the Dr.I), this book is very cool; chock full of computer renderings and historical data, this handy reference will be a big plus, I think, to those that want to add lots and lots of detail to their Fokker models, and as a nice supplement to the other references you may have. I consider it to be great value for money, (as is the case, in my opinion, with most Kagero books).
OldTroll Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks for the "heads up" - I just ordered it!
LSP_K2 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 It really is excellent in my opinion, and at roughly 140 pages, a lot of "bang for the buck".
Dave J Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Agreed! It's a great book got one for my Roden kit that I will get around to one of these days!
LSP_K2 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Agreed! It's a great book got one for my Roden kit that I will get around to one of these days! I spotted a fabulously cool scheme in this book that I want to use on my next Tripe.
LSP_K2 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Which one? On page? Page 28, lower image, first machine.
LSP_K2 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 I have the Windsock Dr.I Jagdstaffeln book; I'll try to cross reference it against the photo I'm taking about, and identify the Jasta 26 aircraft in question, if possible.
LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Well, no joy. All I can determine for now is that it is a Jasta 26 machine as stated. I'll look for profiles and post if I can find the one I seek.
Dave J Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Page 28, lower image, first machine. Sorry Kevin! Just looked at the book now... Interesting scheme for sure!
LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Sorry Kevin! Just looked at the book now... Interesting scheme for sure! It has everything I want Dave; over painted old style crosses on upper wing, fuselage and stabilizer (still showing through), black and white striped aft fuselage, and twin (I presume yellow), stripes aft of cockpit. Purportedly (according to the Albatros Jagdstaffeln book), a white S on the upper wing as well. (If WNW ever decides to do the venerable Dr.I, I'll probably need to buy at least five.) Not fishing,... just noting.
LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Images??? Here you go Mike, (image snatched from the WWW). It's the first Jasta 26 machine, and I believe it has marvelous potential to be very visually interesting. (This is the same image as in the Kagero & Albatros Jagstaffeln books, but of lesser quality.) In the Kagero book, the S? is much more clear, though I'm still not convinced that it is an S.
