I am ordering finishing supplies- red tissue and fokker red dope. Question: Does the decal sheet include the white wing band that surrounds the iron cross or is that painted on? Thanks for any help offered.

That is something i should have done myself. The decal sheet seems to include only the iron crosses. Thank you.

as a history teacher, I should have realized that the German Air Corp in WW1 allowed personalization of any individual' aircraft. The samples you post are really interesting. Might be nice to build one of those...

I was seriously sick of red paint by the time I finished this one...

where did you get the propeller, or did you fabricate it? Any tricks to it?

Wow, Bill, that's fantastic! I like!

The plan shows you a scale prop, and so, you just make one... when you get there, hollar, we'll ALL walk you thru it...

Oh and thanks! Like I said, I got really sick of red paint before that was done.

Dang stuff gets EVERYWHERE!
