One of my favorite WW.1 biplanes and the smallest I have built so far is the Fokker D. VI.
The old Roden kits are not easy to build. The Fokker D. VI is no exception. Especially the stuts and the upper wing made some touble. The wing was disorted like a banana. Droppiong it several times in Hot water and carefull bending and aligning solved the problem.
I used the PE set from part to enhance the model. 75% of the set was used, maybe 25% are visible
I was not happy with the Roden decals and used the Eagle Strike decals which at the time when the model was built, were to my opinion the best available.
The struts were also disorted and very thick. I sanded them down as much as possible and straightenend them. This had to be done very carfull as the plastic was somewhat prone to break, because it was porous.
Weathering was only done with the airbrush and heavy dilluted Tamiya Smoke, Gunze sail and Gunze mud. No oil Colors, no pastels.
