Neoqb Fokker Dr.1 Paintkit

SOH-CM-2025
Hi all,

Would anyone happen to still have a copy of the paintkit for the Neoqb Fokker Dr.1, that you would be willing to send to me? I seem to recall that there was one when Neoqb hosted the aircraft, but since that site is no more, I can't seem to find the paintkit for it available anywhere else (though some good individual did upload the aircraft to a few different FS sites a while back, which was perfectly in allowance with the developer's rules/regulations regarding the distribution of the aircraft files, but I don't believe the paintkit was uploaded anywhere).

If anyone is in such a position, if you'd like, you can just pm me.

Thanks!

- John
 
Here are some results from the first-day's efforts. Thanks again OleBoy for sending along the paintkit to me!

I've got about 10 paint scheme ideas I'd like to do. Here's a work in progress on Lothar von Richthofen's aircraft.

Edit: Old images removed, see below. ; )
 
Brilliant! That's a fantastic rendition of Lothar's Dr.1. Really looking forward to the others you have in mind.:jump:
 
Thank you Matt and Pips. Its been a long-time favorite of mine too - I've always liked the combination of yellow/green/red on this aircraft.

I redid the fabric streaked paint, after having not been too pleased with my prior attempt. I found the last couple of small parts where I didn't know they were mapped, added the right color to them, and also added the stencils, so I think this one is finished. Once you know where everything is, it is a very enjoyable and very effective paint kit to work with.

The first seven repaints, all from the 'Flying Circus', will be released as a set sometime next week, which will allow you to recreate these scenes in FSX:

(With a lot of the streaked paint scheme showing on these aircraft, I'll be mindful to try and keep each one looking a bit different, so that no two have the exact same 'streaks'.)









 
I'm really looking forward to you work John. It is a real coincidence as I was actually looking for a paintkit for this model. And Google brought me to this thread! :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

The Dutch "Early bird foundation" has two Dr-1 replica's one built by the foundation (PH-DRI) powered with a Siemens radial engine and one replica built in the US powered by a 165 HP Warner radial engine (PH-EBF).

The green/red one is currently on display in the Aviodrome museum. Chris "Eagleskinner" Brisland did a repaint depicting the blue one.

I was intending to do one of Manfred van Richthofen's aircraft, most likely one which isn't completely red. I assume it will be included in your release. If not, I would love to have a copy of your paint kit.

Cheers,
Huub

The PH-EBF by Chris Brisland

 
Thank you Dave, Mike, and Huub. As the case is with really good paintkits, about 85% or more of the actual texture work is purely provided by the artist that made the paintkit.

I'd be more than happy to send the paintkit to anyone who would like to have it, and I have just sent a copy to you Huub via PM. I know I'll be greatly looking forward to any and all repaints you may produce for this model!

Besides those seen in the couple of photos I posted (which are all examples owned by The Vintage Aviator, based in New Zealand), the only others I have had in mind are Mikael Carlson's, Pioneer Flight Museum's (Kingsbury, Texas), Grimes Field/Golden Age of Aviation Museum's (which is also painted as Lothar von Richthofen's aircraft, but has various differences than the example I've duplicated above), and my own recreation of the Waldo Pepper scheme. Though for any of these, I don't want to try and claim them.
 
Thanks John, I have the paintkit. Now I need to find some time to make some good use of it.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Three more done, only three more to go to complete the "TVAL 7" (I should actually have them all completed and uploaded around Friday/Saturday).

Here is Eberhardt Mohnicke's aircraft:








Here is Werner Steinhauser's aircraft (slightly a work in progress still - I have to correct the 'streaks' on the rear aft upper fuselage):







And here is Hans Weiss' aircraft:





 
Having looked at these on another display, the main paint doesn't appear near green enough as it does on the display I have been using, so I will also see about fixing that.
 
One of my favorites, beautiful work John. Looking at the paintkit, very well done indeed!
 
Thank you Ted. Here is another one, which again is from Jasta 11, but in this case the pilot (and specific serial number) are unknown, unlike the others.

Edit: Old images removed.
 
Thank you Mike. Yes, I've been going through and doing each of the seven paint schemes that are applied to the replicas owned by filmmaker Peter Jackson/The Vintage Aviator, based in New Zealand (seen here: http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2012/05/fokker-triplane-replicas-of-new-zealand_12.html). All of these schemes are historic (majority of them with documented pilots), of examples that were part of Jasta 11, "The Flying Circus". Once all seven are complete, they all will be uploaded as one combined set. I've been saving the easiest for last, and although I've got some other business to tend to tonight, I should have the final two completed within an hour or two and will start to get them put together for upload.

Here are some new screenshots of the latest example, with some changes again to the streaked-fabric. I've adjusted the colors and contrasts again, and I think I can be content enough to settle for them, and now I will just have to make the same changes to the previous repaints shown before (though I may lean them back to being a bit more brown).







 
Okay, I just need to package them up and upload them.

The aircraft are all of Jasta 11, "The Flying Circus":

1. Manfred von Richthofen's Dr.1 425/17
2. Werner Steinhauser's Dr.1 564/17
3. Details Unknown
4. Hans Weiss' Dr.1 545/17
5. Eberhardt Mohnicke's Dr.1 155/17
6. Lothar von Richtofen's Dr.1 454/17
7. Richard Wenzel's Dr.1 588/17

















 
If anyone is actually interested, I have just uploaded this seven-pack set to the library here, at Flightsim.com, and at Avsim.
