Thanks Bob. Your strippers would have worked well here also but I didn't have enough to do the job.

I have to get ready for work so only posting one photo for now. More later. Some tricky touch up to do at the wing root.

Very nice colors on that bird now. I really love the shades of the green and mauve. It's looking great with the light wooden tone of the fuselage.
Best regards

Thanks Amigo! I have done the touch up at the wing roots. Now just a bit to touch up on the undersurface of the tail plane roots and on to decaling.

Really like the mauve. Is it a home made mix?

I'm glad you used a sky blue underside, because I have just done the same on my Alby. If I'm wrong than at least im not wrong alone ;-)


Would you say the Roden D.III is within the abilities of a relative beginner such as myself?

Thanks for looking in and commenting! The Mauve/ Lilac is a mix of an Old Polyscale WW1 German Lilac and a bit of blue added. As for building the kit remember it is not a WNW kit. That being said I think with patience and a lot of test fitting(Interior parts), it is within any modelers reach. One thing I am concerned about is mounting the upper wing. I have gotten used to WNW very positive strut locations and looking at the Roden struts I don't know how I managed my first DIII
