Roden 1/48 Junkers D.1

[487 Squadron]

Internal corrugations from household tinfoil, scratched fuselage framing and fuel pump, Master MG barrels, and correct sized Axial prop, seatbelts, and instruments from the spares box, otherwise OOB Paint scheme that of an airframe discovered at Evere, possibly Marine-Feld-Jagdstaffel 1.

Nice! I did the Roden 1/72 version of this (well, it was corrugated, single wing and a Junkers WW1 aircraft anyway) and it looked good before I started building it. I was not used to Roden then and just finding my way back into kit building. Yours is much more like I was hoping mine to turn out...

Great finish, best regards, Ray

Very nice build.How did you get the corrugations on the internal skinning with the tin foil,and overcome its fragile nature?What airscrew did you use?I've got the Roden kit but have not started it yet due to mainly the lack of detail on the interior and was wondering how to overcome the problem.

I'm not 487SQ but on my current build the foil is glued with white glue (PVA) and anchored in points with drops of CA. The Axial prop will be cast copy from the Roden Fokker D.VII kit.

Another cracker 487! Looks absolutely stunning,

Here's a link to how I did it: http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=185.0

The prop is simply a leftover from an Eduard Fokker DVII kit.
