Zeppelin Staaken R. VI. Roden 1/72
« on: August 16, 2022, 02:25:06 PM »
My first completed model this year. Just a beautiful kit by Roden.  The overall parts fit was excellent, and the decals went on flawlessly. Really ingenious pattern provided to cut out each piece for coverage. The markings are fictitious. I just thought it would be quite plain with no personal identifier or aircraft numerals. 
Build log is on Hyperscale:

Very impressive model. Juggling with swathes of lozenge must have been a nightmare. Great to hear good things about Roden kits.

Fabulous bit of work. This is only the second completed version of this that I've seen.

I really like the salt chipping you've done on the engine pods too

Tim,

Love it!  I have been wanting to take the plunge but haven't started one yet.  Good on you for building it.  Thanks for the inspiration.

That is a monster o a model: as others have written it seems to be completed only rarely. Many congratulations on finishing it to such a very high standard.
