+quack74 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Here are the two versions of Ernst Udets Fokker Dr.1's. Originaly belonging to Hans Kirchstein of Jasta 6, 586/17 was handed down to Ltn. Ernst Udet of Jasta 4. It has been argued that Udet this Dr.1 was painted over in red and light blue while with Jasta 4. Some say it remaind black and white. You can decide for your self. Thats why I made two :yes: . And also I included a generic Jasta 4 Fokker Dr.1. Said to have a light blue cowel, wheels and struts. The blue matches Udets red and blue Dr.1. Hope it's close. . They will be available when approved. Enjoy. Quote
Cagallon Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) That was FAST!!!! Thanks!!!! I have found this book online... Fokker Dr I aces of World War I (LINK) And more: "Richthofen's Circus" Jagdgeschwader Nr 1 (LINK) Some more... Albatros aces of World War 1 (LINK) OOOOPPPPPPSSSSSSSS!!!! It seems that Kirschstein's DR1 and Udet's DR1 was THE SAME!!! You can read about it in this page, the author said that Udet's DR1 was formerly flown by Kirschstein!!! The books aren't complete... but there are many nice pics to see :yes: Edited July 23, 2009 by Cagallon Quote
don246 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks Quack74 for all the brilliant skins much appreciated. Quote
+quack74 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 It's my pleasure :yes: . I enjoy doing it. It's my only hobbie these days . It's nice to know other people are enjoying them as well Quote
Cagallon Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 All your ace skins are GREAT! Campaigns are too much funny and eye candy with those skins. Keep up the good work! I found info about the one with the Blue Tail. I mean this one: Jasta 11 Blue Tail (LINK) It was Ltn Mohnicke's Dr1 - Date March 1918 I found this pic with his profile: Manfred von Richthofen y Ltn Eberhardt Mohnicke, March 1918 Quote
+quack74 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah I learned that after I did the skin. Also I've come to my own conclusion that Mohnicke's Dr.1 most likely looked like the below photos. It seems to appear this way, in Fokker Dr.1 Aces of WWI by Osprey, on page 27. It's a line up photo at Lechelle in late march. I've also seen a artist's rendering of this color scheme as well. I cant remember who, but it was a painting of a Jasta 11 line up. I'm sure someone is going to dispute me on this :yes: . Well I'll post this one so there will be both. Quote
Southside Bucky Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I'm sure someone is going to dispute me on this :yes: . LOL!...Who you got in mind? Quote
