Title: Hansa Brandenburg D.1 1/72 Toko
Post by: Tim Mixon on October 30, 2022, 06:41:32 AM

Another older build that has been rebuilt and repainted. An excellent little model with surprising detail and terrible, terrible decals!  I only used the black hand decal from the kit.

Nice one Tim
One of my favourite aircraft of this period - I've got the kit on the shelf waiting for me to feel I'm ready for those struts  ;D

Tim,

After building the Toko Pfalz D.XII, I'm not sure I will ever work up the courage to build this one.  I bet those struts were endless hours of headache.  They turned out nice though.

Thank you Paul and Stuart.  If you do decide to build this one just remember that the struts are not meant to be an exact X. The ones from the cabane struts to the lower wing are aligned level to each other. The other two are at a slight angle at the center intersection.

 Thank you for the hint about the struts.  Many have had problems with this kit for that very reason.

Nice very convincing wood effect.
