Hey guys. Been busy with life and havent been checking all the pages like I normally would.

So, the Dr1 is the subject matter. Has anyone given thought to the 1/32 Meng kit? I have like 2 WWI plane kits, and thats one of them. LOL

Alrighty then. Guess I will be building a Dr1 next. I may have built ONE WWI plane in my life, and that was when I was like 13. LOL A Sopwith Camel I believe.

Hi, it's the dr1 in any shape, colour or size. The more the merrier. Pantherman

Now I'm going to choose between these two. I like them both equally.
Maybe combine the two

Pantherman said:

I'm doing both. First the Eduard kit as the red barron and then the revell kit in black.

I'm just greedy......Pantherman

I took a peek at my kit and I saw two long triangular decals. Does anyone know what they are for?
I didn't see any placement for them, unless I overlooked it. Could they be for the propeller?

They go on the inner cockpit fuselage but make sure you cut them to fit the panels both side's as they usually come just over. Pantherman

Has anyone ever painted a prop to look as layered wood?

Golanthius said:

Funny you mention that. I bought some wood color and light brown testors paint at Hobby Lobby today for just that purpose.
I will paint the light brown undercoat, then the wood color on top of it, then scratch thin lines in topcoat to look like wood grain.
I hope this will work.
Long answer to your question.
Short answer is No. LOL

I was poking around on Scalemates and that Revell kit is a tooling from 1957. That would explain the simplicity and flash.
