DR.1 Fokker
In the words of Monty Python “And now for something completely different” :)-
I was talking with someone about Dave Deal's Tri Plane, so I searched for and came up with this instead.
I thought it looked cute and thought what the heck and bought it. It was an easy build and I added some painting and Tamiya Panel Line Detailer. I also took a stab at adding wood grain, and I'm reasonably happy with how the wood grain came out.
AND the big news is I did a figure….this is a first fro me I have never done a figure and probably wont do another, but seeing this was all in fun I gave it a shot. Not to bad. Even has blue eyes ;). The figure took longer to paint and assemble than the plane 🙂
SO without further ado…….I present to you the Suyata Fokker DR.1 & the Red Baron ; )
Signed……. @bikequeen errrrrr Fokker Queen 🙂 Enjoy
Nicely done and funny.
@milantesar Thank you sir! It was a lot of fun 🙂
Very nice, Cricket ! You shall have some pie!
@ssgt Thansk Jay! Pie?
Such a sweet build deserves some sort of appropriate reward.
@ssgt …. Ahhhh. Cool can I have Cool Whip on it? 🙂
Sure, you certainly deserve it. Building cool
Models and fighting fires
😁
Nice job Cricket! That's an awesome little Fokker...DR1! Nice work on the woodgrain and the Red Barron too!
@curtisshawk Thank you CLint! Everyone should have a little Fokker ; )
Looks great! An egg plane and a visible kit, how could you go wrong, Is the Baron going after Snoopy?
@roofrat Thanks Robert! Was a fun build, and he would be a fool to go after Snoopy as every knows Snoopy would kick his A$$ 🙂
@bikequeen - Great build Cricket. The wood grain and the figure turned out really well. You should definitely do more of both!
@brithebuilder Thank you Brian the wood grain was really a Happy accident. The paint wouldn’t stick to the weird plastic so I kept wiping it with my finger…and go figure it worked :). Even let me mask It so I could paint the silver part.
It’s certainly different, Cricket, and, most importantly, it looks like you had a lot of fun doing it.
@chinesegeorge Thank you George! I did indeed enjoy the build
Terrific model, Cricket (@bikequeen). This tri-plane came out great, and the wood struts look very realistic.
@gbalir Thanks George I loved doing it, very happy with the results. Now I gotta find a place to put it 🙂
Very cool, the figure and plane look good. Nice work.
@gelleeb18 Thank you Mark…the figure was kind of a pain…although I painted it with flat colors it still came out gloss. I sprayed with with flat clear and that helped a bit
Really nice, Cricket! Love the plane and figure!
@fiveten Thanks Spiros a fun build, I recommend it
Looks like fun. Is there a companion Snoopy Sopwith Camel?
@bobd56az Thanks Bob there is a Sopwith but alas no Snoopy : /

Nice clean and sharp modeling and seems like tons of fun, good for you.
