This will be an interesting thread - three Fokkers showing variations on a basic theme.

Excellent work on kitbashing those parts. I assume you modified the F1 horizontal tail plane from the Meng kit ? Also the coaming panel from the DVII looks great. When I get ready to build one of these I will have your thread bookmarked for sure!

Hi  Rick,
yes the tail plane and the rudder come from the pieces for F1 type (Meng)

Introduction
RODEN D.VI is an honest kit for the money. Relatively correct in its dimensions, with sufficient detail for its time (mold of 2005), but with some inaccuracies and shortcomings such as:
-   the span of the axle wing
-   the bogus step on the horizontal tailplane
-   the lack of detail of the cowling
-   the lack of rib tapes in the wings
-   the complete lack of detail at the bottom of the fuselage

The reason for its construction was the purchase of 2 kits of Dr.I of MENG, one for early and one for late type. Because the kit contains all the parts for the construction of both F.I and Dr.I (early and late) there are enough parts that will not be used in the end.

1.1 Preparing the parts
Undercarriage


Horizontal tailplane and Rudder

Hi
Fuselage
The lack of any detail at the bottom of the fuselage in D.VI is obvious. The comparison with the similar section of Meng’s Dr.Ι proves it.
The D.VI fuselage is based on the equivalent of the Dr.I, except for the wing cover, while the wings to D.VII with shorter wingspan.


First remove a 10 mm piece of plastic from the fuselage. From a WNW sprue cut a rectangle measuring 22x17 mm and install 4 Fokker type fasteners which we remove from I27 not use part (WNW Fokker D.VII (fok)) as the similar part of D.VII.


Copy on foil the fuselage seam from the Dr.I.
Make the access panel of the engine subsystems from a 0.15 mm thick sheet. Place a plastic strip on the bottom of the firewall.


to be continued

You are doing a remarkable job on updating the DVI kit! On a side note if I used a "Double Edged" razor blade the blood would be pouring from MY fingers  ::)

Some great mix - and - match going on here! And some wonderful ideas I will borrow shamelessly! I do like your problem solving methods, and what a great group of subjects! Regards, Marc.
