Getting setup to start construction of the upper wing.

After researching drawings of the upper wing, I'm going to have to redo the ailerons as the one represented in the kit is an early production type. My model will be representing one of Richtofen's 1918 aircraft. Gary Sewall's amazing drawings of the Fokker Dr1 were made available by him on the "Aerodrome Forum". 

Mr. Sewall's has spent years studying and putting together the drawings, just beautiful work. I will be using a lot of his material moving forward to make the proper alterations to the model.
