You're welcome to post photos of your VK build here. I might be kind of fun to be able to swap ideas.

The hardest, and at the same time most satisfying, part of this sort of build is just understanding how the original was built. For this Fokker Team Schorndorf's "Fokker DrI in Detail" is absolutely invaluable. It documents the step by step construction of a full-scale replica.

Some people wonder why anyone would take the "modeling for God" approach of replicating features that will never see the light of day. The answer is simple: To understand and appreciate the way these ancient warbirds were built. Here's a for-instance, the rectangular notch at the bottom of the steel tube fuselage is considerably wider than the lower wing spar. Why? I don't know yet. But I'm sure I will by the time I finish the model.
