I’ve just got back from a few days in North Cornwall, which was wet and windy but very enjoyable, so I’m now making up for lost time. These are the sprues for three Eduard / Smer Fokker Dr.1 triplanes, which I’ve now undercoated in Halfords primer, ready for assembly to begin tomorrow. The pilots are ex-Matchbox kit WW2 Luftwaffe figures, which are perfect for WW1 pilots as they don’t have Mae Wests or other obviously anachronistic features.

The decals are also not from the original kits but pinched from Revell Fokker Dr1’s, although I’ll be fiddling around with the insignia to make each aircraft distinctly different, albeit with a common and typical streaked green camouflage finish. I just hope they go together with less hassle than the Junkers J.1 but I expect they’ll be a lot less fiddly, despite having three wings to align and some very small pieces to ping off into the carpet.
