Note: If you are building a Roden kit, you must sand down the lower wing roots. An overly tight fit to the fuselage will cause the lower wing to bend downward.

Tip: Use Blu-Tac on a cocktail stick(toothpick) to hold small photoetch parts for placement.

There is a very good build article of the Roden Fokker D.VII kit on Modeling(note one L) Madness by Dan Brennan. It points out a few areas that need some minor sanding for a proper fit. Also very good tip on an easy alternative method to align and secure the fuel tank. Well worth a look.
