Is the streaking done by hand, or decals?

 

 

I had a read on Guys thread, and he used an airbrush

I'll have to go check that out then.

One thing I'd like to point out, if you don't mind, is that the wings were generally streaked roughly 30° to chord, whereas the ailerons themselves were streaked at 45° to chord. This was a fairly consistent Fokker practice with the Dr.I.  Not a big deal, really, but just something to keep in mind, should you choose to do another at some point. I really like the look you achieved with the airbrushing though, it's really quite excellent, far better that I'd ever be able to pull off.

Thanks,

 

I’ll take that on board. I have to admit to being a bit of a generic modeller and not going too deep into the finer points of realism!

 

Yes, all airbrushed, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat...

 

 

Thanks for the nice comments,
