Fokker Dr.1
Ltn Walter Göttsch, Jasta 19

I'm finally going to breakdown and build the ubiquitous Fokker Dr.1 using the Meng kit which, from my understanding, is the Wingnut Wings kit that was never brought to market by WNW. I was going to go crazy and do the Manfred von Richthovfen version (i.e. all red), but just couldn't bring myself to go there... Instead I'm going to try one of the suggested Meng versions - Ltn Walter Göttsch (version D). I really like the colour scheme and the camouflage painting on the body and top of the wings should be a nice challenge. I'm also going to try a couple of new things. First, I'm going to use the Quinta Studio's 3D decals. I am intrigued by these 3 dimensional decals and interested to learn more about them. I'm also going to try the 3D printed under fuselage panel from Aviatik (Attres 052) and their corresponding photo etch set (Attres 053). I'd like to support this company (Aviatik) since I think they are doing some good work.
