The Fokker Dr.1 Triplane was made famous by Baron Manfred Von Richoven aka The Red Baron.However other colorful schemes exist of this iconic aircraft. Eduard's kit is state of the art with clever engineering to ensurethe three wings and landing gear is in alignment. I picked up the double kit from HHQ it has 6 options but the Kurt Korner's plane (with the zig zag pattern) was omitted probably due to the decals for it would not have fitted on the large decal sheet.It was replaced with Ltn Hans Weiss's plane(white upper wing and red nose) which I selected. I loved Korner's plane so with some internet research and since the decals included were enough to cobble together his plane I built his plane. Only the zig-zag pattern had to be masked,it took a whole morning but it was worth it. The fabric ares with the striping was painted olive green heavily lightened with yellow ,t hen streaked with olive green white and black. Parts laid out before final assembly, after this decalling will be completed. Still undecided whether to add pilots.
