Link to the Shuttle Factory Instagram: instagram.com/shuttlefactoryscalemodels/ Hello dear viewers I hope you are all staying safe during this challenging time. With this extra time on my hands I've been able finish video on a subject that inspired me into the hobby as a 8 year old child; The Red Baron & the Fokker Dr 1 Triplane. In fact the footage at the end of the video is of Manfred Von Richthofen himself (17:06 to 17:12) approaching his Dr 1. And before the end card at 21:41, the Baron in the cockpit ready for take off . However the markings for the Fokker Dr 1 in this video depict the triplane of Ltn Paul Hoffman, Jasta 12, Toulis Aerodrome, Circa March 1918. And the second one seen at the end of the video (made in 2015) depicts the DR 1 flown by Ltn. Johannes ("Hans") Werner, Jasta 14 , Boncourt , circa January 1918. So my question to you is which DR 1 do you like more The Jasta 12 (black tail) or Jasta 14 (white & black) bands? Take care, stay safe & Happy Modelling From Peter H of Shuttle Factory Hand Painted Scale Models
Thanks Matt, sadly Revell modeled ALL of their DR 1 kits (the 1/72 scale, 1/48 scale & 1/28 scale) in that awful red plastic. That is why I used grey primer to coat & block out that colour. I've got the 1/28 scale DR 1 kit which will not be red when I make it
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels if you want an really detailed Dr 1 kits I suggest you to check out eduard. Their weekend edition is surprisingly cheap for the detail that is provided.
@@KJ-kn8pg I actually have quite a few Eduard & Roden 1/48 WW1 aircraft Kits ( aircraft like the duo combo Platz D.III, The R.N.A.S Sopwith Camel [ a personal one since my great grandfather was in basic training with the R.N.A.S in 1918 & logged sometime on the Sopwith Camel along with other Aircraft] and the weekend edtion of the Nieuport 11). And I also have the big 1/28 scale Revell Dr 1 which is also in the stash. So expect to see a few more WW1 aircraft kit videos from me :)
This is the new tool No. 04116 kit not to be confused with the No. 04154 (old original tool in latest 1993 box) from 1966. Great video. Great build. Thank you for a not a red dr1.
The kit I used for Dr 1s in this video is the 2003 tooling. I think it rivals Eduard or Roden 1/72 scale WW1 Aircraft kits for detail. It's well worth the money. And thanks for your appreciation of the fact I went for a non Richthofen DR 1. I have the old Revell 1:28 scale Fokker Dr 1 kit in the stash. I intend to go for another Jasta 14 or Jasta 19 paint Scheme. Anyway thanks for watching & good luck with your ongoing projects
Your video clearly reveals that an airbrush isn't always necessary to render an accurate replica. I never knew about the factory paint scheme. I'm re reading The Story of Air Fighting and am currently in the opening chapters on World War One. Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise. Larry Landis
Thank You for your kind words, Larry. The streak Fokker DR.1 camouflage was also used on early models of the Fokker D.VII. Thanks for the book recommendation, if you want any great biographies on WW1 Aces, check out Peter Kilduff’s books. Such as his books on Billy Bishop, Rudolf Berthold and even one Herman Goering’s WW1 service.
Sadly I didn't film the varnishing process. I did use a coat of Matt varnish after the acrylic paints before I applied the artist oil paints. I then varnished the kit once the painting was done. Thanks for watching :)
As a first time biplane kit builder, I would very much liked to have seen the process you used to attach the middle and top wings. This step has been giving me nightmares trying to reason out the most efficient way to do it, and I’m not attaching more than two! My kit is an ICM 1/72 scale kit, so everything is small and difficult to handle without the added considerations of oddly-angled support struts. I’ve seen some elaborate uses of paper “templates” to hold wings in place during gluing steps, but these seem a bit too user-unfriendly to me. Curious what methods have worked best for you?
Hello Mark oooooh that's always a big challenge mounting the top wing. Especially if its your first model biplane. I'm sorry I thought I had filmed my self mounting the top wing. I like to glue the strut's to the top wing, let it dry first, then apply glue to the bottom of the strut's. I then bring the model together by having the top wing resting on the work bench. I then apply the fuselage on top, with a paint pot or something else to hold up the tail. I use strips of masking tape lengths to hold the wings while it dries. The best way to picture the way it looks is seeing biplane flying upside in your mind. OR I do have another build video on the Fiat CR 42 (which has multiple V struts) were you can see me using my mounting method. head to the 06:05 timestamp on this video ua-cam.com/video/k6USnyYQV2g/v-deo.html
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels Thank you so much. I will check out that video asap. I want very much to get past this step so I can move on to the rigging, another first for me.
A good effort and a good paint job. Great subject as well. But the wings and landing gear and guns are SO out-of-square (from any angle) that no self-respecting Luftstreitkrafte pilot would dare attempt to take it 2 meters off the ground.

An amazing looking model right there! Particularly that it started in red plastic and that can be hard to hide

best 20 minutes I've spent this year !
Really good, Nice to see some good tips for painting Wood. Cheers
I'm glad you have found the way i paint wood effects helpful. Good luck when you try it out & Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the inspiration to try my Revell Dr1.I'll let you know how it works out. I think I have a set of 1/72nd scale PE Spandaus for it.
Nice build I have in 1/28 scale for revell of red varon Richthofen
Thank you! Good luck on your build of the 1/28 scale Fokker DR.1
Fabulous modeling and video. Thanks for shooting and sharing. Why use a brush and not an airbrush?
I always use an Airfix cowling. Since I have always found the Revell cowling inaccurate.
Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔝
Thank You :)
awsome model really good tips to use and keep handy
Glad to hear that you have found this video helpful. And thanks for watching!
RIP revell

That comment gets a HUGE thumbs up from a fellow fan of Sabaton
good job! subbed!
Thank you :)
i recently finished this kit but i did it in the red colour scheme
great video. one question though. did you seal the paint during any of the steps or after?

I'm glad I was not the only one to see that!
Got to admit, you got balls, showing the world how crooked you can build a triplane…
❤❤❤
if you didnt paint it in the manfred way, consider yourself an opp
Avoid revel great war models 1/72 scale. horible. airfix is better.
