Mike Dowling got a reaction from CDW in Fokker Dr 1 by Mike Dowling - FINISHED - Artesania Latina
The top wing is installed - what a fight that was trying to line up with the spars and glue them - it is covered, rigged and painted.
Next step is the undercarriage

There has been a slight problem with the kit. The cowl that goes over the fuel tank etc sits a wee bit too high at the back. It fits fine at the front and I notice on the instructions photographs that the discrepancy is there as well so it's not my fault. As a result the machine guns also sit about 3mm too high so I have had to modify their mounts somewhat. It's taken me ages but I think they look ok now and won't look too noticeable. I should say that the guns themselves were an absolute beast to make up. Rolling brass is great fun and those cross hairs are so tiny they would break in a breath.

I know it's a pain but I have to agree with Kevin. I am quite sure you will manage it.

Fresh milled flower probably, druxey. Or some other white powdery substance
Nice steps, practical jig too!

The reason is that I painted the Sopwith in the livery of Arthur Brown who was credited with shooting down the Baron so Iwanted the Fokker to follow the story so to speak.

So I stayed away a few days and you are close for the test flight. Looking very nice Mike. Them guns look really business wise. Nice work on it.
