You paint it red and my Camel will hunt you down.

I didn't know Camels could fly!! I figured their humps would ruin their aerodynamics!! Ha ha!! Steve.

I think that my Dr1 is being shipped via Camel(4 legged one):D:D:D

Hi Martin........Have you started that GP tripe yet?
Have you settled on Waldo Pepper color scheme?
Are you going to re-cover And paint? or use Monocote etc....

Murph

Camo scheme fpr GP tripe
 

Well Murph it's a toss up between the RB's lesser known camo scheme (see below) or the Great Waldo Pepper scheme. If I go with the RB's scheme below, It would save me a lot of work. Hey Guys, help me choose! Steve where are you when I need you?

Paint
 

Sorry Murph, forgot to answer you. I plan to scotch pad (rough up) the covering and repaint using my airbrush. I will have to experiment a little with paints, but should be no problem. Stripping this plane would be very labor intense. Martin

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE PINK BACKGROUND SURROUNDING THE CROSS ON THE UPPER WING! :eek: REAL MEN never painted their planes with PINK paint anywhere on their war mounts!!! :D Martin

Dr1
 

So whose pretty pink enhanced plane is that!!:D

So there appears to be a lot of RED in those photos.:)

I bought some Krylon short cuts enamel to paint mine...Testors enamel worked great in my tests. tried to scratch it, and crumpled some of the monocote.........It survived both quite well, no flaking. Just worried that it may take a lot of coats of paint to cover the red.
Really dont want to re-cover all those scalloped trailing edges.

are you sure that isn't the lesser known "Pink Baron's Dr1"?:):D

Murph

Oh Yeah.........watch your six....degreen60's camel has been seen hunting red planes!!

Were you thinking of this one?

Here is my latest WW1 project. Originally I built it for free flight but I am now converting it to electric R/C. I'm just awaiting on the servos arriving, power is a artec bell outrunner, with a 2s lipo
Nev

How do I post photos so they don't end up in thumbnail format?

Hi guys....Looks like Kiwi has all the good full-scale photos!

So Kiwi......Have the Germans invaded New Zealand, Or are these photos from somewhere else??

Chris/ Murph

That's It!
 

That's the one Kiwi! Comments/opinions Gentlemen? Martin

Looks like less painting would be neccessary!

Dr1 etc...
 

Martin how about this one.:)

degreen60 where's that camel?:<

HA HA HA HA HA.......................

Murph

All the photos were taken about 2 hours away from my house.
The film director Peter Jackson is a keen WW1 aircraft fan and collects them, now has over 2 dozen in his collection.

Heres a couple more.

Bad Man!
 

Murph you are a bad man! :p Pink indeed! Martin

Bad man
 

Well martin...........Couldn't go fly today(weather)
Photoshop was looking lonely:)
Couldn't help myself.:p

Murph

Kiwi......Those photos look a bit like California, Peter Jackson wouldn't happen to live out this way would he?
If so I would love to see those planes next time he puts on a show!!

Murph

Sorry, your'e a few thousand miles off track. The collection is at Blenheim at the north end of New Zealands South Island.His big classic fighters air show is held at Easter of odd numbered years (the even years Easter show is Warbirds Over Wanaka)
Here's another couple of the "Ringlord's" aircraft.

Well ..one could only wish........Murph

Well, just to keep you wishing some more

wishing
 

wow!...........so many Dr1's........so far away.:{
Museums around here (U.S.) sometimes have one.

Didn't know any German pilots used the swastika back in WW1.

Does he have one from the "Pink Baron"?:):p:o

Murph

P.S. Hey Franny...How's that Blue Dr1 flyin' lately. Sure looked nice in the photos.;)

hey Martin. .......HOW DO YOU POST THOSE LARGE PHOTOS???

Murph
