Title: Roden 1/48 Fokker D.VII Albatros
Post by: Matti on June 11, 2021, 05:59:15 PM
Fokker D.VII (Alb), Ltn. R.F. Jakobs, Jasta 43, mid 1918

Roden 1/48 scale kit, not the easiest one to build but after all cutting, sanding and fiddling of parts i managed to put this together. I added Eduard seatbelts and some photo etch dials, otherwise ootb build, painted with Tamiya acrylics, i replaced kit lozenge decals, Aviattic worked much better.

Lovely job on your DVII, Matti!

Good standard of finish.

I actually think Roden's DVII is not a bad a kit as it goes.

Regards

Dave

Thanks Dave!

Yes, it's not so bad at all, and the next one will be easier to build :)

Bravo Manni, that turned out superbly in the end. All the frustrations you had with the kit didn't stop you producing something very special.
