Red Baron' s WWI airplane scratchbuilt

[klausbrazil]

Some time ago I made the airplane after having watched the movie. It is entirely scratch-built, mainly made of wood. It is based mainly on pictures and measures I found on the internet.

The fotos you can find under the user klausmerkel in photobucket:

I hope you like it.

Welcome to the site.

That's pretty sweet to see the Baron's plane in 1:18 and I know a few people here will really appreciate it. Our member Hun built a 1:6 scale version out of plywood and has some great pictures posted somewhere around here.

This is the great tragedy of Admiral leaving the scale, no production WWI stuff.

Hear, hear.

I hate that as well.

Nice looking bird, tho, Klaus.

How long did it take you to make it?

Thanks to all for your replies. In fact I took several weeks to make it because I made it with interruptions. In the process of the building there were also several problems to solve. One for example was how to fix the upper wings until the glue was hard. It took two attempts to get the plane right. The last four pictures on photobucket show the first attempt that led to a plane with wrong sizes and some wrong shapes. The other pictures show the final version.
