sillymodeler Posted Friday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:32 PM (edited) Hi All I completed building Werner Voss’s Fokker F.I. last month. The kit is from MENG (originally designed by Wingnut Wings), but the decals for Voss’s plane designed by the MENG is awful. So I used the Aviattic Werner Voss decal set for this build. The fuselage painting is also Aviattic’s overall decals. The fantastic figure is from the Model Cellar. The color scheme of Voss’s plane might be controversial, but I chose light blue as the base color because British ace James McCudden described the color of Voss’s F.I. as “silverly blue”. I also find the 3D model of Voss’s motorbike (Wanderer 1914). Voss is one of my favorite aces, so I'm happy I could build this bike with him. I hope you all enjoy it.

Uncarina Posted Friday at 01:45 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:45 PM That is really something special. You’ve brought this Ace back to life! I especially like the color scheme you chose, but it is all very impressive. Well done! Cheers, Tom sillymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted Friday at 03:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:20 PM Superb build man! The cockpit looks fantastic; you got the wood grain and leather look perfect. I know there is some controversy about what the exact color of Voss's plane was, but I think your representation is probably pretty close. Technically you did a fantastic job on the decaling and painting. Your painting of the prop is sublime as well. I tried to get a wood look with my Dr.I build, but it looks pretty tame compared to your masterpiece. Finally, I think you did a great job on the Voss figure. Model Cellar certainly has some high quality ones; I used one of their casts of von Richthofen for my build. Again - superb work!

jeroen_R90S Posted Monday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:07 PM That looks gorgeous -the propeller especially stands out! I have the same decals for use on my Dreidecker -though it'll have to be the Roden one as I already have that! Very inspirational, thanks!

ringleheim Posted yesterday at 04:11 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:11 PM It looks great and I think your choice of blue looks really nice...and may very well be close to what it was. Lovely DR1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
