It looks like the UR.II could have the pipes either in the front or the back but the pictures I see of DR.1s all have them in back like the kit does. By the way, those pipes are the intakes. The exhaust just blows out of the cylinder head, it's timed so the exhaust valves open when the cylinder is at the bottom of airplane as the motor spins. There are no exhaust pipes.

The instructions for the engine (and some pictures of the engine on the plane) can be found on the wingnutwings site. Air intakes are on the back. The instructions seem to say that the Rhone engine used copper while the Oberurssel copy had metal pipes

@@axelvanderminne2124 I reviewed the instruction manual and it appears parts of the engine are left unglued and intended to rotate - but does the engine and propeller rotate together as a unit or is the engine stationary and only the propeller moves? I really would like a model that depicts a proper rotary engine.

have fun building it.

What do you mean by "multiple layers of paint and weathering powders"? Surely you don't think that pre-shading and using pigments is above the level of the average modeler, right?

wow , cool story thanks for sharing it.

The engine from the Triplane is in the Imperial War Museum in London. Where I have a mention on the Jadgpanther!

Thank you

Once Revell sold models of Snoopy and his German foe. Was pretty cute ...

@@letoubib21 Those kits have been re-released by Atlantis Models

@@Hjerte_Verke Thanks!

Shut up.

Oh, definitely!

Thank you Derek

Glad it was helpful!

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks 👍

Thank you

You are right but this is a Meng,maybe a close 2nd fit to the great Tam

Thank you you Glenn

Thank you .

Glad you enjoyed it

Yea I agree

Thank you

Thank you! 😊

From research I've done, the Baron had at least two fully red tripes. The first was 152/17 which sported a progression of red until the plane was fully red. The other completely red one was 425/17, the one he flew the day he was killed. Depending on the time frame, 425/17 had a white rudder but was eventually painted over with red. There is a third Triplane that has been stated was painted in overall red... 477/17. My research shows this aircraft being described as all red in some photos and also as the factory finish of streaked Fokker green over doped linen with the red struts, cowl and wheel covers denoting JG1. Keep in mind that all triplanes were delivered in this streaked green finish.

I saw the control stick and compass at Australian war museum Canberra

Australian war museum is awsome

@@ianashby1449 i would love to go down and see it someday.

It’s definitely worth a visit was there from open till closeing

it is a radial engine not a rotary

I just use RLM 02 for German WW I interior metal parts.

Also. The paint at the time was flat and not gloss. I’ve seen the actual fabric and motor. Both at the imperial war museum, national museum of the air force. and Kermit Weeks has some of the actual fabric that he used to paint his full size triplane.

My final comment. Very nice by the way. Inside the fuselage there should be some red bleed through on the fabric. There is no structure outside of the plywood that lets the paint color bleed through. Nit picks for sure nice model. Keep up the good work.

Thank you,,i found out to the whole engine spun too . thanks for watching.

IVE GOT PLENTY , thanks for watching

Thanks 👍

Keep in mind too, that the markings for JG1 had red cowlings, struts and wheel covers. Even the factory painted Fokker green aircraft would carry these red struts, cowls and wheel covers. The remainder of the aircraft could be painted as the pilot wished. For example, you see Dr.1 152/17 often depicted in a partial red scheme with the red cowl, struts and wheel covers, top surface of the upper wing and the fuselage aft of the Eisernes Kreuz (as time passed this fuselage color eventually extended to the rear edge of the cockpit and eventually completely red (152/17 was his first all red tripe). MvR's brother Lothar flew Dr.1 454/17 which was painted with the red cowl, struts and wheel covers in red, but the upper surface of the top wing and the rear part of the fuselage were painted in yellow. MvR was a Uhlan, depicted by the red coloring, LvR was Cavalry, depicted by the yellow. LvR was shot down in 454/17. He was involved in a dogfight and the upper wing started to disintegrate... he was able to get the plane down but upon landing crashed and bashed his face into the machine guns, breaking his jaw. MvR crashed one of his earlier tripes, Dr.1 114/17, which threw a cylinder, knocking off the cowling and forcing the Baron to crash land.

Geen probleem, je hebt ze goed.

That would be cool

Glad you like it

Thanks you.

Thats good

It sure is

Thank you I had fun building it.

yes there instructions are great.

Thank you Phil.

Thanks for the info

Yes! Can't wait for Aviattic to release theirs for this kit :).

Rigging on the Triplane was relatively easy. There were crossed wires bracing the landing gear struts, crossed wire bracing between the struts between the fuselage and upper wing, control cables obviously and two wires leading from the fuselage to the top wing denoting the aileron control cables. that's it.

Thank you

Thank you . I just painted a desert tan color masked it with 1 mm tape and the painted a darker brown Then when dry a put a light coat of brown panel liner on it.

I had it , it was not part of the kit
