Hi: I just finished a Revell Fokker dr1 1/72 scale. I did the camo streaking with acrylic paint. After stripping off my first two attempts I did something To">different.To keep the paint 'more wetter' I dipped my brush in a little Future. This really made a big difference. Here are some pictures. I hope you like them.
Thanks
Chris Anderson

Nice build Chris. You have an interesting approach to the streaking. For the next time you will want to show the ailerons as if they were done separately. I look forward to your next build!

Hi Jack: First I separated the ailerons from the wings. Then laid out on a piece of graft paper at the angle determined by two rib spaces. I streaked all the surfaces individually. Thanks for the kind words. I do a lot of research before and during my builds and this site has been a great help. This is my second aircraft, mostly I do W.W.1 armor. I'll post my first aircraft soon.
Thanks again,
Chris Anderson
