I keep eyeballing my Encore kit, considering doing another one, this time much better than the last one though. I made many, many mistakes on the first that I can now (hopefully), avoid on the second big Dr.I.

 I've seen many Dr.I's built on these type forums (all scales), in the past, and I tend to like them all, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how you handle this dark machine; ought to be really cool.

I had a good trawl on the net last night looking at other Roden 1:32 Dr.1 builds. Lots of builds out there!!
I found Claudio Kalicinski's build log on Aeroscale (on which he's known as Kalt) which flesh's out the PDF article i mentioned previously quite nicely. It's very easy to get lost in all the detail - I need to keep on reminding myself that I need to get the basics down pat first!! (I'm no craftsman Paddy, that's for sure).

Back at work now after 4 weeks of annual leave. My workplace is undergoing some major changes over the next month and I'll be retraining for life back on the fire trucks so my time will be even more limited :(

No real progress to report I'm afraid, due to work and domestic demands  :(

However, I was all ready to try some engine detailing and other stuff today and cannot for the life of me find the instructions. I have a sheet of paper that I transcribed the paint details on to take to my hobby shop but the instructions were not with them.

Thus can I request someone possibly copy them for me?

Please PM me if able to help (I will pay for postage, etc).


Thanks in advance,
