Good kit. Accurate, lots of nice details. Despite hardly any rigging...a tough nut to crack.
Eduard lozenge decals...not fantastic (what's new? :-\)
Pleased with the result, but a D.VII is not exactly my cup of tea, so it doesn't make my heart sing.

Build in november 2019.

Thanks for watching,

Robin :)

Fine build, you can be proud of it.

Post by: ModelCellar on November 22, 2019, 03:54:32 AM: Robin,

That's NICE ! I really like the lavender color. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I know yours is 1/48. But, I have several kits of the old Revell 1/28 scale D.VII, AND the 1/28 after market decal set of Stark's markings from Copper State (as well as Udet's markings and the lozenge sheets). I always thought it would be cool to do the 1/28 version in those markings. I think your build here has inspired me. I think I just found a winter project (or two).
