The three Fokker Dr1 triplanes have now had the cowlings and upper wings attached, which was a right pain in the backside due to the cabane struts being not quite long enough, so are ready for the final fiddly bits to be glued on before or after I add the decals. I'm keeping the final finish fairly simple, with a couple of variations to add some personalisation to the different aircraft but haven't yet decided exactly what they those will be. I also need to paint the three pilot figures, but I'm saving that to the very end, so that I can do a decent job without having to rush them. This project has reminded me how much I enjoy making plastic kits bit also how ham-fisted I can be when I'm sticking the buggers together. I've decided not to build the DH4's as a result of my frustrations with these Fokkers but may do a couple of straightforward French Spad XIII's instead, depending on how the triplanes turn out in a few days time.
