    You have made an excellent job of those Alex.
    That streaked green is not easy to get looking just right, but you have achieved a very good rendition of it here.

    I did my first try with lozenge decals yesterday. Did something similar but it didn't turn out so crisp as yours, Tim
    Guess I need to practice more.

    Didn't have time to take some pics but hopefully I can get some tonight.

    Just a shame we won't be seeing them in the flesh this year.
    I will, however fly the flag for you.

    Lovely Fokker Dr.I and Albatros models, guys! I, too, have several Jasta 2 triplanes in the queue - seeing yours, Alex, is just the inspiration I need
    And your Jasta 11 birds are no less inspirational, Peter! So many planes - so little time

    All the best,
    Matt

    They are a telescoping magnet tool. I just got some from AutoZone. I got the gimbal set from Keith. The ring magnet in the set of course connects to the magnet on the tool and I glue the ball bearing to the plane. Altitude and attitude!

    Thanks Rob. We will get back, not sure when... These new planes you will see in OTT 16. Needing 6 Albi DIIIs was the impetus to do these now. I already flew it, just have to write it up.

    Only the crosses are decals. Zig zag is freehand. Surprisingly it wasn't that difficult.

    Jasta 35b are now finished. 6 D.Viis, 3 Pfalz D.Xiis a Roland D.Vi and an Albatros D.Va.



    It took a couple of years but I got there in the end.

    Edit, a better picture

    My plan is to have a 1918 campaign with new pilots on the rota starting with the Albatros, then work their way up through the Roland, Pfalz and finally the D.Vii. It was easy for my brother (the opponent ), he just painted 6 Camels.

    Love your 'Boelcke Boys', Alex - Baeumer's tripe makes a nice variation on the scheme with his thicker Balkenkreuzen and black wingtips...

    Very nice indeed, I have long had a thing for all of Baumer' various machines and your model of his Dr1 looks to be exceptional. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for yout comments (and rep), guys.

    @Dave
    You'll find the complete decals for Vallendor and Frommherz on the Fokker DR.I Decals, Part 2 by Aviation Wings, available in the Aerodrome Store.
    For Bolle and Bäumer I've used various decals from both Aviation Wings DR.I decal sheets and from 1/144 Direct.

    Indeed....I have been trying to figure out how to apply lozenge decals without taking the plane apart. Thanks for sharing mate, you should get a medal.
