    It looks like Valom 1/144 scale Fokker Dr.1 kits are now available. I have not bought any. I have just see them advertised on this website.

    Looks like it is worth investigating.

    Have you spotted the upper wing colour of the Lotar's tripe, chaps? Just like one of my first repaints

    Ughhh, but the album pictures are lost...

    According to text from SWMBO mine arrived today from Hannants. Not a really inspiring choice of schemes I feel. I shall be resorting to the Aviation Wings sheets, available in Aerodrome Accessories.

    Whoever drew the box art doesn't, but the painting guide has a yellow top wing

    Here's a first look at the contents of the Valom Fokker box



    Fuselage, wings, tail and other bits plastic, etched brass wing and undercart struts, and a resin engine and cowling. Decals are nice even if the schemes are somewhat predictable.

    Thanks for posting the pictures, Steve - it looks like a nice model. I'm sure I'll snag one or two sets when my dealer here in the States starts advertising them...

    All the best,

    Question:

    "What is the Valom Dr1 like to build?" I am considering doing the Werner Voss version as I see that there is a decal set for Voss's machine on e-bay.

    How do they build up? Are they strong enough for table-top or would the etched brass undercarriage require a reinforce strut of stretched polystyrene sprue super-glued to it?

    I haven't built my Valom Dr1s yet (two are on the workbench queue at the moment!) but I have built, and used, a pair of Valom Fokker DVIIs.

    They are PLENTY strong enough for table use (NB - they do have more interplane struts than the Dr1).

    I hope to start the Dr1s soon, and will report on their suitability when I get to fly them.
