This 1/12 scale bust of Baron Manfred Von Richthofen was included in
the 1/48 scale Dragon Fokker DR1 Triplane Kit issued about 15 years
ago.
The bust was completed using Xtra color enamels for the clothing and
tones, while Winsor and Newton oil paints were used for the flesh and
hair tones.
Various references were used for the colours. The main one being a
photo in a book called Manfred Von Richthofen. The hardest reference to
find was for the shoulder epaulettes containing his rank. Particular
attention was paid to the piping around the edge which is in blue and
white twisted piping. Very few photographs exist of him in this uniform,
the main ones being of when he was hospitalised with a head wound and is
photographed on the front steps of the hospital with members of his
Jasta.
