I've already started this build here https://imodeler.com/groups/work-in-progress-aircraft/forum/topic/meng-fokker-dr-i-1-32/?_wpnonce=5b7e1f64e4&topic_page=1&num=15 but I think it fits the bill.

Yes it does!
Bring this beauty here, @michaelt!

Good morning Michael, yes this will be an excellent contribution for this GB, I'm still looking for that one WWI or pre war WWII bi-plane to build. I just never been really interested in building one. But with the new kits coming about they have peeked my interest. Excellent progress so far.

I'm very interested to see how this kit turns out. It's gotten "mixed reviews" so far, mostly for the plastic.

Great to have some first World War builds. I am not yet brave enough for biplanes. I will be watching and learning from this build.

Great detailing, Michael.
Love the way you added those cables.

Well, I tried three times to straighten the wings using hot->boiling water, but to no success.
Then I tried using a hair dryer and managed to straighten them with a firm bending using thumbs and fingers. I then clamped them at the wing tips to a piece of wood to cool.
That worked.

But, next day they (upper wing in particular) were back to more or less the original bend.

@%#!^@^%!

I'll try again...

Michael (@michaelt), nothing is more frustrating than have warped parts, especially in a newly manufactured kit. If one part of the wing is straight (such as warped top and straight bottom), I have been able to straighten the other part by gluing the two parts together gradually using liquid cement. I will glue about a half inch, then tape everything into the proper shape and let it dry. Then repeat. If that doesn't work, sometimes you can get good result by putting it on the floor and jumping up and down on it.
