Well done John, looks nifty, though I'm not altogether sure that red white and blue was a scheme he should go for. It might confuse the opposition but getting home may be a problem !

Nice repaint, John
I had not put that together...
Looks good to me!
That white will soon "dirty up" in action

Nice. I like the blue that you used. Looks very awesome!
My first attempt at a Valom kit so went for the smallest triplane 2x DR1!!!
These must be two well worked models from everybody so nothing new here, LvR no. 454/17 and Josef Jacob’s 450/17.
The main issues I had was with:
the metal parts for the wheel struts (both so thin they broke trying to get them out of the mould) - I ended making these and the tail landing part below out of box frame brass 1/64x1/32, which seems to have come out ok,and;
the tail landing point and the two metal parts for the lowest wing edges (I left these off in the end) (which is so small I cannot see it even with magnifying glasses) and;
The decals kept breaking up if I made them too wet or tried moving them when too dry, which wasn’t an issue for most as there are spares, except for the devil fuselage decal. One side broke up into 3-4 pieces and folded etc, took a long while to piece it all back together in a reasonable way, and;
There is a decal missing for Jacob’s lower wing top(only one 19b provided) so had to use another black cross and paint a white background around it. I need to touch up top wing decals on Jacob’s that broke up a bit, and;
The decal cross for the tail fin is too big for the space.
Other than that, pleased with the way they came out and usable on a gaming table now, pictures below.

Nice job! They look great!
Nice set of Triplanes Baz.
Fiddly little bu88ers, aren't they, but worth it in the end.
Well done.

Nice job Barrie! I found that building small scale biplanes takes a lot of patience. You seem to have pulled it off rather well.
Nice! Looking great!
A formidable bunch of Dr.I's, Martin. Well done

Great-looking Dr.I, Brian
Really nice job! The streak green camo looks really awesome! What colors did you use?
Great job Brian. Makes me want to add a Kurt Wolff to my hangar.
Very nicely done Brian!
That's a really nice job on the streaky green camo. Well done.
'Cept he never had a Dr.1 - Wolff only flew a F.1 prototype once (MvR's F.1 102/17) on 15th September 1917 and he died in it. Voss died in F.1 103/17 on the 23rd. Nice paintjob though, Brian.

A very well painted model Brian.

Excellent paint job!
Have some Rep!
DAMMITT!!!! Rep guns jammed!
It doesn't really matter whether Wolff flew a Dr.1 or not - it makes a great "what if?" (I've more than a few of those myself!) or just assign it to another historical pilot whose personal schemes are unknown.

Brian, that is gorgeous. Great job!
Triple Triplanes! Great looking set of Dr1s Luke.
Those look pretty darn awesome!
Lovely Tripes!
Your red/white Raben needs a white cowling, though.
