Claudio,
Your Fokker looks awesome! How did you paint the streaking? What was your base coat? What colors of oils, etc.? I'd like to have the same finish on my 1/48 Eduard Dr.I.
Thanks!

Beautiful job on the Fokker. Excellent finish with just the right balance between the colourful "camouflage" and the subtle weathering.
Thanks for sharing - a well deserved MOM win!

Thanks guys and gal! .
The Fokker is sitting too lonely on my shelf.....I'm about to start a companion for it: a Hobbycraft (revised edition) 1/32 Sopwith Camel but I'm still waiting for the Part etched set to arrive. What can I say, I'm infected with the 1/32 virus.....
Best regards,
Claudio

I agree Kalt! I can't imagine one that would look better than your build. You're definitely an inspiration for all of us out here.

Here is a build feature by Claudio Kalicinski (Kalt) of Roden's 1/32 scale Fokker Dr.1 kit. Claudio won the Aeroscale Model of the Month March contest with his wonderfully detailed and painted model.
