My latest project...This is Revell’s 1/28 1964 pop of Werner Voss’ F1 Fokker Triplane. I did this between builds just for the fun of it.  Completely out of the box with a reliance on paint work to make it stand out. The streaking was what really excited me. in this case I mixed green and black oil paints together, then loaded up the brush more or less to get the light and dark shaded streaks. Besides the streaking the only unique thing I did here was to spray a bright white highlight on the ridges Revell put on the wheels to give the illusion of spokes I managed to get all the kit decals on, although some are better then others. A couple split in 2 and one of them in 3 but overall they were useable for a fun project like this.  Prop is Tamiya deck tan with an oil paint overlay to create the grain. A super fun build that made me smile the whole time!

Cool build .. love the idea of bi and tri planes but building one scares the bejesus out of me

Very, very, nice! The illusion of spokes on the wheels is superb.

Dang! Thanks so much for the positive comments. I was honestly hesitant to post it up. Seeing your comments on the paint ideas I tried is great encouragement to keep trying new things and not to fret about just doing something for fun.
