LT Raben's Dr.1
« on: July 25, 2020, 01:37:43 AM »
Hi:

I started and finished Roden's Dr.1 in 10 days. This is the fastest I have ever built anything. The decals came from Eagle Cal and they kept falling apart. While, the Roden kit was not an easy build, it was fun and I enjoyed it. I need to do another one since I know where the problems are now and what I would do differently. Thank you for looking. Carl

Very nice and clean build especially for one built at a respectable percentage of light speed. I really love the red. The shade is great and the depth of the finish with the tonal variations showing is very nice.

Thank you so much. I use Drooling Bulldog's paint and I really like how you can vary the hue by the amount of thinner used.

Very fine... And built in 10 days, something I will never achieve.

Thank you. I was doing another plane when I saw the decals for this and thought the red and white was more striking. I used Drooling Bulldog’s red and like how you can change the hue and density by messing with the thinner ratio.

Thank you. It was my first as well. It kept me from watching the television or being on the internet. A feat I haven’t been able to achieve since.
