FOK. Dr.I 425/17

[Tim West]

Heya,

Here is my version of 425. It is my view that is was overpainted red in the field and was flown prior to April 20 1918. As with most Dr.I stuff, this profile is more an opinion than fact

The above profile will be used in the scene I am working on for MvR's 79th and 80th victories.

Lastly, I would like to thank Langon Badger for his help with this profile.

Looks fantastic, Tim.

I especially like the stains on the rudder. I look forward to seeing the Camels.

Hey- I love the paint can! It's just that little "extra", like a toy in a box of really good cereal.

Thanks guys

I debated the addition of the can, but it fits the render.

jtisch,
Heh, dont hold your breath for my Camels. They are low poly and will require a fair amount of photoshop work. I dont have time to do a Camel to the quality of the DR.I but it will do for the scene.

Here are some larger portions of the above.

Tim,

This is beautiful work. Every time I see these color images my imagination takes me back to the old German airfields as I try to visualize what they were like with their colorful aircraft and airmen. Thanks for the memories!

Tim --What is the scale of this DR-I? Looks fabulous. I'm a complete noob on this forum, joined to see what I can learn, confirm what I think I know, and refute the rest. I'm presently building a 1/5 scale DR-I r/c model, just looking at paint schemes and trying to be accurate in my endeavor. I also have a 1/4 scale D-VII for later on. I plan to both of these planes in Udet's markings.

Tim:
You have the correct shade of red. I am tired of seeing brilliant vermillion versions of this machine. With all the bonifide pieces of fabric from the machine about,you would have thought they would get right a long tme ago. Looks absolutely great!!!
Bluest of skies,

Tim,

An EXCELLENT rendition of 425/17! A minor detail for 'perfection' would be 425/17's small cutdown of the padded gun butt section on the top, left side.

This make a GREAT wallpaper for my laptop, thanks!

Regards, Gary

It's worse than that mate. It's not a physical model but an electronic one; a rendition. As a modeler I find it kind of scary, although greatly to be admired.
