This is my first posting to this
wonderful website. I have received so much inspiration from everyone's models.
This is the new Revell Dr-1 done in Joseph Jacob's colors. I wanted to do this
scheme for a long time and when a friend gave me Roden's 1/32 Dr-1 with the
option of doing this plane, I had my plan. I normally only do "Braille
Scale" so without any decals in this size to use I tried to paint the
devils head. It turned out bad. But thanks to two great friends Mike Kloppenburg
and John Jernigan who made two "tiny" devils head decals for me, I was
able to finish this little tripe! I think it is the only one in this scale I
have seen on the net.

The kit is OOB
except for the Eduard spandaus. I made seat belts from masking tape and photo
etch sprue. The rigging is surgical wire and old nylon suture. There are
pushrods on the oberusel but they are impossible to see. The unusual eisernkruez
are maskings and paint by airbrush. I also masked and airbrushed the propeller.
This little kit went together quite well and I have several more I want to make.
Hopefully I can post them too. Enjoy!
