sillymodeler Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (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 March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 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 March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 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!

williamj Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Really nice build, love the prop and figure. sillymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 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 March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 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! sillymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Very impressive, really like the blue colours, from where did you purchase the bike? Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Brilliant build! Funnily enough - I came across a 3D model of a 1914 Wanderer the other day on Cults whilst looking at motorcycle subjects - possibly the same one? https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/wanderer-1914 Iain sillymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. That's the model I used here. This model is good enough in 1/32 scale, but you need to rescale it to your desired scale. The scale of the model described in the Cults is 1/72, but it's actually modeled in 1/6. For rescaling, I used "3D builder", a pre-installed application in Windows 10. The detail of the model is very delicate, so you need to use 4K level 3D printer. I asked my friend for printing. Good luck!

Iain Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Brilliant, thank you. I'll have a go with that one - thanks for confirming! It works really well with your F.1 and Voss figure... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
