    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 !

    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.

    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.

    Jasta 11 ready for take off. A mix of real and imaginary colour schemes. (I am indebted to taybo on page 2 of this thread for the black/yellow colour scheme, which I have shamelessly copied!)

    Here is my latest tri-plane repaint. This is Kurt Wolff. It was formerly a duel pack MVR model. Paints by Vallejo and decals by AviationWings. Click image for larger version.

    '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.

    For the base color I used 70.988 Khaki, and for the streaks I used 70.893 US Dark Green.

    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.

    Thanks! I'm practicing the streaky camo pattern. I'm using the method that that one guy, whose name escapes me, posted in this thread, a while back.

    Lovely Tripes!

    Your red/white Raben needs a white cowling, though.

    Yes I'm sure - 'Valom' got it wrong.

    There is a Triplane replica hanging from a ceiling in a US museum, with an incorrect red cowling.
    'Valom' used this mistake as part of their colour scheme for the kit.
