Roden 1/48 Fokker D.VII Albatros
« 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

Thanks Dave!

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

Excellent job on your Fokker Matti , nice clean build with an outstanding finish . I built both Rodens and Eduards and I rather build Rodens .

Great work, Matti. Clean build and a great paint job with some decent weathering.
Great.
Bye Manni

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.
