Title: LT Raben's Dr.1
Post by: fredjocko 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

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.

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.

Can these be used with a hand brush or are they air brush only ? Thanks - Aaron
