Default RE: BUSA 1/4 Scale Fokker Dr 1

My engine had to be moved back really far to utilize the very scale GTM cowling. It makes a big difference in the looks.

Dummy cylinders for more scale look. Best pilots Lothar von Richtofen at the controls. I just need to cover the top wing now. Should happen tomorrow.

I modified the interplane struts to be single items between each wing. Much stronger and way more scale. Need to clean that one up some. In the middle of priming, almost ready for paint.

I used lightweight Dacron and dope for covering. It works fantastic. Great being able to sand all the seams smooth.

I am really pushing hard on this now and am hoping to have it flying within 3 weeks. The biggest chore left will be the rib tapes and stiching on wings, and the painting of the insignia. The airbrush will be used here. All of the small nomenclature I have as dry transfers from GetStencils.

Ritter von Tutschek mount will be the paint scheme.
