Erwin 1,721 Posted March 24, 2013 Is that the one in shinny red plastic ? ............................................. showing my age!! Yes it is.It has a date 1957 molded on the inner fuselage. That's 55 years old and it's still being produced...and bought by me ! I must add that I only paid 7 Euros for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_S 5,101 Posted March 24, 2013 Excellent choice, Erwin! When I was younger, those 1/28 Revell kits were some of my favorites. I have the Dr1, Spad, and Camel in my stash. I'm pretty sure Revell issued the Dr1 in a light blue plastic, too - the picture on the box was of Werner Voss' plane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin 1,721 Posted March 26, 2013 I'm pretty sure Revell issued the Dr1 in a light blue plastic, too - the picture on the box was of Werner Voss' plane. It was indeed at one time molded in blue as can be seen in this link.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/REVELL-1-28-FOKKER-DR-1-/281081200249?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item4171bebe79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin 1,721 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) First progress.Parts clean-up and some filling to do. I have an idea in my head to not go for the Red Baron.Instead I might use German crosses from the 32 nd Piper Cub kit and go with a colourful sheme. A bit of a fantasy. I hope that's OK for the GB ?

mgbooyv8 635 Posted March 29, 2013 Hi Erwin, Nice that you tackle the Dr.1! I see that you made the same start as I did. I wonder if anyone will enter the old Camel in the group build? Cheers, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highest Regards, Gregory Jouette I'm glad to be back ! It won't be like the old days when I use to build kit after kit.

Erwin 1,721 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Some progress. I will paint the wings before adding them to the fuselage. Grassgreen upper side. Blue fuselage with red tailsection and lightblue wing undersides and modern German crosses. My fantasy paintjob. Edited April 13, 2013 by Erwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
