Good start and this looks to be a very nice kit of the aircraft. I'm pretty sure that Eduard's offering would be my first port of call for a Dr.1 - 1/48th is my preferred scale for these WW I single-seat fighters as I find them to be just too small and fiddly in 1/72nd.
I thought it was common knowledge that a weekend in Eduardland has a duration of about 6 weeks
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Do you think they have pubs in Eduardland? That 6 weeks could be ambitious if so.....
Nice start on T'engine Toby; very convincing
Best wishes
Jim If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing "Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow"
Nice to see another WW1 type Toby. I do not like the look of those streak transfers....somehow using large transfer sheet lost its appeal when I tried some Roden lozenge some years ago....it would have been easier to hand paint it! I am sure that you will manage these well though. A very fine start on the engine.
Started on the interior. It's so nice to have a kit where all the parts fit where they're supposed to.
If anyone wants to get into WW1 stuff then I can recommend this particular model by Eduard. Very little rigging and so far a joy to build.
I have another 4 in the stash. I may spend the rest of my life making little Fokkers.

I'm sure Stan Boardman would have a few choice comments to add to this thread......

I tried applying the starboard decal without removing the forward outlet with dire results. "Repairs" effected but a mistake I won't make again
So I cut the port one off, applied the decal and then reattached the outlet
I did attach the top decal but my initial fitting of the side decals left a gap so I've had to make up a new one from the streaked camouflage set I already had from Aviattic. Still not correct but most will be hidden by the triangle decals
