Guy, Bo, Rick and Dave, thank you for your kind words.  I should have the other photos up in an hour or two.

Superb job, Bud! I really enjoyed you build and look forward to your next.
The finish is just amazing, weathering and shading just right.  Well done!

Cheers,

Bud, you've made a wonderful job of a model that caused me more than the occasional headache. Super stuff!

Best wishes

Thanks, Nigel!  There were a few headaches associated with this build, as well.  Never the less, I would still build another.
Cheers,
Bud

Bud,

As others have said, you have created a masterful build by successfully using some pretty advanced techniques.  You should be very proud of it.

Just catching up on  this one. Amazing work and a great looking scheme. Taking a Roden kit and accomplishing these results is very impressive!!....but your tape on decals still makes me nervous...

Thanks, Phillip and Steve!  As long as you have a few coats of clear flat under your tape, it goes fairly smoothly.
Cheers,

Hello Bud:

Great job on this one Bud.  I am going to try some of your techniques on my current build.  Hopefully I will have success.  I really like the way this turned out, as has been said your shading, really highlights the craftsmanship you display.

Looking forward to your next build.

Best

Cheers,

Hi Bud:

I am working on another DVII, this is the DVII F.  I am using the kit markings for Eric Just, Jasta 11.  I like the colors and the contrast.  I am using a combination of Aviattic cookie cutter decals for the wings and Wood and Wire faded 4 color for the fuselage.  I will be using Testors MM Sand to blend the wings with the fuselage, but still provide some contrast.  I am not doing a build log as there have been many build logs on the DVII and I bring nothing new to the table as it is OOB.  I will post photo's of the completed model in the completed model side of the house when finished. 
Gotta love the DVII.

Take care

Mark

Fantastic, Mark!  I can't wait to see her.  Yeah, you're right, buddy.  After this build, the D.VII has won me over.
Cheers,
