Thanks for all the positive comments, seeing some of the other models in the galleries I felt a little humble posting anything.
To answer Dave's reply, the Roden kit was not too bad a little more flash than I would have expected and I had some trouble getting a good fit around the nose, too many parts maybe due to the 'Hissi' engine option? It was my first Roden kit but had similar problems with the Fokker D VII I did next.
As far as scale I am not sure, most of the WW1 modelling I did previously was 1/72nd which I still wonder about? I am trying 1/32nd but not really enjoying it, I guess its a debate that could go on for ever.
Regards
Bruce
