Years ago I was building the Dragon 1/48 scale Dr.1 and found a source stating that the streaking was performed using a 3 inch wide brush. I scaled that to 1/16 inch for my project. I enjoyed the video! I will certainly keep it in mind when I get around to building my Meng 1/32 scale plane!
Amazing. Been looking for this! Thank you for the tutorial. Been staying away from ww1 era airplanes for this reason, airbrush just wasn't cutting it. You got a new sub to your cult broham!!! 👍😁
Have you read, Voss: Hero or Super Hero? It's online. Anyway, in It McCudden says Voss's plane looked silver blue. There's a B/W picture of the F.1 sitting sideways on the ground and the cowl looks a different shade than the supposed Heavy olive green on front of fuselage. Was wondering what you thought. I find these Pilots and these machine's Utterly Fascinating. I've got, still in box, the Albatros D.111 of Voss and I found on eBay The F.1 of Voss I ordered. These both are 1/48 Edward weekend editions kits. Thank You for your video's! I'll be referring to them A Lot.
I haven't read that book, thank I will try to find. If you are talking about these pictures ww2aircraft.net/forum/media/fokker-f1-103-17-werner-voss-3.25969/, yes I agree, cowling looks lighter on them, however take a look on the sunlight, I believe those pictures were taking 1-2 hours past noon, so they sun was too bright. Any way we will never know what color was correct.
it's believed that the base color was sky blue one and the whole plane was covered with it from the factory. Streaky camo was painted on top of it. As I mentioned before I started this build in the beginning of pandemic and I used not an ideal colors, just because I wasn't able to buy it, everything was closed (even on-line), so i used RLM 65. In my opinion the correct shade should be like I painted the latest model - Albatros D.III (OAW)
@@slougo5909 do not know yet, I had a poll and there was the option for Siemens Schuckert, I really want to build this model, but it's still on the way. With this pandemic post is not as fast as it was before.
Great Work! I have a question for you, If WW1 planes were painted with Paint brushes, then why do we modelers Spray paint them? I Like what you did with this Fokker and it looks More realistic brushed.
Thanks for reply. Why do we airbrush WW1 scale models, when they were Brush painted? We go through All the weathering and detail but yet we airbrush. Doesn't make sense as far as being realistic as possible.
The application looks good but the colour was originally painted over the natural linen which was a pale buff or the linen was painted a very pale blue colour.
@@andrewredman4551 Agree, RLM 65 is not as blue as it suppose to be, during building process I was not able to buy correct colors, because of the Covid. Next Dridekker will be with correct blue color ;-)

Didn't the Fokker Dr1 have more sky blue or gray streaking showing? Like Werner Voss's Dr1.

something like Mr.Color 323 or Acrysion 45
Thanks for reply. What's your next project?

If I may, I'll through out an ideal for your next build. Werner Voss's Albatros D111.

Streaky camo was painted using wide brushes ;-)

@@slougo5909 that's mostly because models are smaller than real planes and we need to take the scale into account
cool
Thank you
Класс. У меня один драйдеккер в 32м как раз лежит, надо бы сделать..
Обязательно надо!😀
Why no undercoat?
It has undercoat and oil paint was used on top of base RLM 65 color. I decided to film only "camo painting part"

*NO* that is no good.. that is not a reference..
Can you please explain, why it is no good?
