Roden 1/32 Fokker Dr.1 My 1st WW1 Warbird
Hello all,
This post in for Gary from Hannants London. He recently finished this beauty and asked if I would post it up for him.

Dear Aerodrome modelers,
I fought and won with this model. Not the easiest build in the world, but well worth the effort.
Eduard helped with the cockpit details, oils where used for the streaking and Bobs Buckles where used for the rigging.
Paul Bäumer's markings where made up as they don't have decals for him in 32nd yet.
3RD of a Kill Laddie!

All comments are welcome
Cheers
The Boys from Hannants London

Stephen,
Bare in mind that it is his first crack at WW1.
I think the lad has done well clean or no.

Cheers,
Bob
