Thanks Guys! I have begun to do some Very Basic work on the DR1. Seeing as Ray of Windsock and others have had Nothing but Praise for this kit I am probably alone in finding a small issue right off of the Bat!
The upper wing, upper half had a Bow. Resting it on a flat surface the ends were on the glass and the center raised. Oddly that is the wing half that has the Box Structure to keep things strong and straight. The much thinner lower portion was pin straight. That being said it was too thin to straighten the upper portion when taped together. I decided to make a Razor saw cut in the box on each side. ( See Drawing) Once I glued the wing together gentle bending straightened things out. Again I don't think this is typical of the kit as No One has mentioned having an issue.
I also seem to have a small but manageable warp in the fuselage right side behind the cockpit.
All of the other wings were fine. The second photo shows a few of the parts I have worked on. I am also thinking of using the Aviattic wood grain decals that I have cut to shape. Still not sure on that one.
