This is Eduard’s 1/72 Fokker Dr.1, and this model represent the aircraft flown by Lt Josef Jacobs of Jasta 7, credited with 47 victories.
It’s one of Eduard ‘Profipack’ kits but Mrs Djmodels (Burnettie) used only a few selected items out of the PE set and decided against the proposed color schemes, going instead for ‘home made’ decals and this rather attractive livery!
Her model is now in the family’s display cabinet and Mrs is indeed very proud of her very first completed model (more coming soon!)…
Oustanding Work! give her a dinner out for her great work! Looking forward to seeing more. Man, I’m getting jealous over all these guys who’s wives are trying their hobby! My wife can’t even stand looking at my stuff, much less trying to build it!
Hey MRS DJ;
Great job only if I could Sweet Talk My Wife to try it out maybe she’ll enjoy the fruits of her labors(Not counting the lil ones she had to carry)
Great job ! Aligning 3 wings on a 1/72 scale a/c is an accomplishment at any stage of modeling experience. The fact that its a first makes it even more impressive. Looks like the start of a great modeling “career.”
Boy DJ. After seeing yours and my wives first build maybe it could be a good thing more ladies don’t get into the hobby, they would do nothing but show us guys up. She did a great job on it.
WOW your good lady’s first kit and she is already better at this than me!!!. well done Burnetti, it looks like Domi will have some serious competition real soon LoL keep up the good work. Greg
