the other DR1 will be Ltn. Joseph Jacobs,450/17, Jasta 7, May 1918

These planes also include photo etch in 1/144 kinda cool
4 additional images. Click to enlarge.
Bet I can do the rigging.
Ditto at least going to try hehehe
Ask Larry Schmidt about his Acme Invisible Rigging. That, or hire a spider.
I've got good union micro spiders
Dayum I was going to comment on the rigging but I'm WAY late
1/144th Photo-Etch...? You gotta be kidding! That's gonna be a bigger PITA than the rigging (maybe)...lol
I'll try to see oh look a chicken sorry distracted hehehe
Ahhh Grasshopper. Patience remember wax on wax off. It will come to you when you least expect it.
And yes photo etch will take pics when i start in next day or 2
Look forward to seeing your progress...(hope you have an opti-visor or similar) - lol
Hmmmm
1/144? Vincent you're a better man than me to try such models in that scale. Are you planning on hand painting or airbrushing?
Airbrush as soon as i figure out the proper red
Vince, Roy Brown told somebody interviewing him it was a vermillion red. I can't remember where I saw that, but it stuck.
Thanks as the article i read stated it was not a bright red as most modelers choose
Again thanks
Can someone move this post to works in progress.
Didn't see it till now, sorry for posting in wrong place
