Many years ago(about 30 or 40 as I recall) I saw Richtofens DR1 seat and one of the fuselage black cross markings and a wing tip on display at the Royal Canadian Military Institute in Toronto....they acquired them from Roy Browns family....Brown was given the trophies after he originally got credit for shooting him down...they have since moved locations but I believe they still have the artifacts and can be seen if one makes an appointment....it was pretty exciting for me to actually see pieces of the real aircraft Richtofen was shot down in...I'm from Toronto and had no idea they were there until I read about it in a book by Dale Titler called The Day the Red Baron Died....I called them up and they said I could come down and see them as long as I made an appointment which I immediately did...they were part of a display behind glass and I remember the curator telling me that a previous curator (decades prior) had been fired for giving away(or selling ) small pieces of some of it !....
I believe this plane had the Le Rhone 9J engine, with pipes behind the cylinder, the 9C had the pipes in front Andy.
You need a Snoopy kit to go with that one.
Shame theres no pilot
...... Steel chair? I suspect you're right to question the chair, but I kind of feel like it would have been aluminium. Idk. I mean, they were German and that.
Nice job, but the wings should be perfectly flat, not bowed. Sorry to see that, looks like a problem with the kit.
The Dr. 1 never used a Le Rhône engine (the Germans and French were not on particularly good terms 1914-18). It used an Oberursel II engine. The Dr. 1’s nemesis, the Sopwith Camel, did have variants with Le Rhône engines, and I bought this kit so I would have a stablemate for my Wingnut Wings Le Rhône Sopwith Camel. I want to do a Roy Brown / Manfred von Richthofen dogfight diorama (yes, I know Brown may well not have shot von Richthofen down, so will add some infantry and artillery if I can get some reasonable replicas of WWI AA guns, which I think were usually Lewis guns, so that shouldn’t be too hard)
I received my kit in the mail the same day this video was posted, so I'm excited to get building. I'm glad to see you build and paint this as an average modeler could do, and not in multiple layers of paint and weathering powders. It's also good to know that the parts fit well enough so that we average builders won't have to struggle with ill fitting parts. If those were your goals, mission accomplished!
With that undercarriage it should have been called a quad-plane really! Or perhaps a vier-plane.
Fokker triplane goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The Fokker used a Oberursel UR2 engine, that was a copy of the Rhone rotary engine. The brass/copper pipes lead to the back of the engine. The Meng people did it correctly.
The model was dynamite, the diorama was the kicker. Great job Andy.
I wish there were more cool hobby shops like yours. Great work on the the DR.1.
Thank you for a helpful demonstaration of this kit. I got it this year and managed to get a 'bookazine' including instructions but nothing beats watching a good modeller do the build, especially for a returner to the hobby after several decades.
I'm glad you went with the Red Baron version. It's an outstanding build.
Beautiful job! Thanks Andy.
Absolutely brilliant build, you are such a fab builder.
Awesome job on Red Barron Andy. Look forward to purchasing kit.
Amazing little plane.
Great job, and very informative. Thanks Andy, love your vids.
