Roden Fokker Dr.1 1/72

[Adam]

Hey guys I am back after a hiatus of sorts. This summer has been crazy busy for me. Went and got married and all that fun stuff!

Just finished this little beast of a kit that I started before we got married. It is also my first WW1 kit and first bi/triplane build. It literally crumbled apart in my hands a few times and I'm really surprised I didn't fling it at the wall. I guess I'm getting more patient. I don't know. It was a steep learning curve and I'm happy to have it done. I will do more WW1 1/72 kits. Just not right after this one....

Comments, criticisms, cajoling, back patting and insults all are welcome.

No rigging on the Dr.1, all internal bracing. There are a couple of lines on the landing gear.
