Mrs Djmodels first ever model... Pics!

Posted by djmodels1999 on Monday, October 27, 2003 3:16 PM

This is Eduard's 1/72 Fokker Dr.1, and this model represent the aircraft flown by Lt Josef Jacobs of Jasta 7, credited with 47 victories.

It's one of Eduard 'Profipack' kits but Mrs Djmodels (Burnettie) used only a few selected items out of the PE set and decided against the proposed color schemes, going instead for 'home made' decals and this rather attractive livery!

Her model is now in the family's display cabinet and Mrs is indeed very proud of her very first completed model (more coming soon!)...

Hope you people like her first efforts!

Looks real good and I like the display base. Nice job there Mrs DJ

That kites a beauty! WWI planes are hard and she has done that little plane justice. Cool [8D]

Great job ! Aligning 3 wings on a 1/72 scale a/c is an accomplishment at any stage of modeling experience. The fact that its a first makes it even more impressive. Looks like the start of a great modeling "career."

Boy DJ. After seeing yours and my wives first build maybe it could be a good thing more ladies don't get into the hobby, they would do nothing but show us guys up. She did a great job on it.

Very nice Burnettie!!! I couldn't even begin to build somthing that small. It's be a pile of rubble!!

Ok, time for you to get a user id and make your own posts so Domi doesn't try to take credit for your work ! Wink [;)]

Keep up the good work!

very nice job Mrs. DJ !

i thought the 1/32 and 1/28 bipes in my closet looked kinda small!

welcome to our family, Burnettie!
hope to see more of your work.

Excellent, Bernettie!
I'm amazed at how tiny 1/72 WWI aircraft are. I've got a 1/48 SPAD VIII, and it's tiny!! I can't imagine trying one in 1/72...

Great job, Mrs. Domi! A very impressive build, and one to be proud of! Seems Dominique already is proud...

Many thanks for all the compliments. I must say I really enjoyed building the model. The painting I find more difficult! I am lucky as I have a "master modeler" around to give advice. He is a great teacher. He has loads of patience. I am already addicted! I have two other aircraft in various stages, a tank, and a model of the house in the movie Psycho. Big Smile [:D]

I hope more ladies show an interest, it is a great "family" hobby.

And you thought she wanted to borrow your airbrush to paint her nails! I can see it now. You go to the grocery store, while she goes to the hobby shop. (Tongue in cheek)

The Mrs. did a great job. That is a swell looking DR1. Three cheers! rangerj

That is a great accomplishment for a first model Mrs dj. Wish my WW I models turned out that well. One thing I'm lucky about though is my girlfriend is ok with my hobby and enjoys seeing what I turn out. She gets a bit miffed about my stacks of modeling magazines and books though. Oh well maybe someday we will have a place with plenty of space for display and storage. (I Hope!!!!)
