Choppa Nuttaanother gem 🙂
I would like to see more of this released in 1/48 and 1/32 🙂

Ulf PetersenAnother one of your sensational hay-wire circuits, Frank!👍
The best detail is the basketwork in the wings.
But the brushed aluminium look of the cowling is great as well.

bughunterYou all find such nice words for my model, I had to lookup in a dictionary, because I don't no yet this english words! Thank you very much!😉
@Choppa in 1/48 there is at least the DH-2 from Eduard, which is one of the models on my desk right now. But still a looong way to go! Today I'm doing the 4-blade wooden propeller.

Choppa NuttaI nearly bought the Dr.I. but at 1/72 it is just too small for my eyes
I had seen the DH-2 and is a lovely model but I wish there was more choice in 1/48, like the Dr.I. 😄

bughunterThank you Andrea, also for digging this older model😉 So it can also earn some likes, which were not available some years ago 👍

Andrea BrencoYou made a lot of strip down models, I will give you more likes for sure! did you soldered them?

bughunterYes the strip down models are the only ones in 1:72. Eduard produced six, but the Camel (that is a beast!) and the Fieseler Storch are not yet finished/done. The other ones are from Aerobase Japan. As far as possible I soldered the parts for robustness. Only to assemble the painted sub modules I used CA.
The strip down put my attention to the WWI aircrafts, so after the Fokker Dr.I I moved to that biplane business in 1:48😉

bughunterThanks a lot guys, I'm really glad!
But it also tugs my heartstrings when I see that Ulf has written in this thread - blue skies, my friend!

Greg BakerUmmm... this might be a bit embarrassing... but I think you forgot to put any clothes on the plane... it's styill naked!

bughunterGreg, if you want to avoid this, in the Preferences of your account there is a check box "Hide content containing nudity"😉

Greg BakerI didn't say I was against nudity... but it's winter time here in Canada... I'm worried that Fokker is going to catch a chill!

bughunterThis Fokker is not going to catch a chill in the closed glass cabinet. But I always think of the pilots who sat in the open cockpits of this old struts in the airflow of the propeller even in winter. I can't imagine how you can endure that!

Album info
This is another soldered one of the great Eduard strip down series!
The undercarriage is a new brass construction, the wing spar is made from rectangular brass.
The painting was done with Gunze, Alclad and oil colors ... and the most important detail, the white wing tapes, are a third of dental floss.
I like this model a lot!
