lewis25049 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Fresh off the bench is the Roden 1/72 Fokker Dr.I. The decals were typical Roden - brittle, non-conforming and prone to silvering. I found that applying them over a layer of Tamiya Decal Adhesive (Softener Type) worked best to alleviate these issues for the most part. Getting all the wings lined up was a challenge, but liberal applications of super glue got the job done. I've since fixed the wonky wheels seen in the underside photo. For some reason, I really enjoy these small Roden kits, despite their flaws. They are a lot of fun, and I've got my eye on either their 1/72 Gotha or Felixstowe next to really test my mettle. Thanks for looking. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's so tiny, when I saw the paint pot I had to check it wasn't 1/144. Well built and painted sir. I like the green stripy bits especially. They are very tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The streaky green looks superb, even more impressive for being in 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Your attention to detail is outstanding especially given the micro size of the subject. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyO Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Lovely job. I doff my cap to you 👏 Cracking job on the streaking which is tricky in this scale to get looking right (I took the slightly easier option of the Eduard version, but I've got a Roden Albie on the bench at the moment so I know what you mean about the kits. Tricky, but satisfying) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
