Love the ribbon. I thought we weren't going to do ribbons anymore. But that is a nice little work of art.

Okay, I've decided which to do first, seeing as theres so many WNW builds I thought I would support the Roden camp and Pull the *Hangar Queen* 1/32 Roden/Encore Albatros DII out of the rear area and restart her.

Question is this : How does one set a buildblog for KOTS when I already have one lurking somewhere for this build. Explanations in the simplest PC Dummy way pls.

I've got a Ninak and a Roland en route from NZ so I'll enter with one or both of those, once Customs have finally stopped playing with them.

Hi Terri

Thanks very much, the kit is the limited edition version, I actually asked a few questions about it a while back, on colours of the CDL and the fuselage. I bought the kit and didn’t really start it, as work and everyday life took over, so it sat there with a couple of bits removed from the sprue, untouched, so this is the perfect opportunity.

I was looking at doing it as the Richthofen Eindecker he crashed, but there is very little difference from the standard kit, and no real reference for the aircraft or the serial no. , but that may be an opportunity for someone to let know different. So maybe the Immlemann version would be a good one as there is a slight amount of fuselage decor with the strips, we shall see.....!

Thanks again

Dave

I have a few of those Eindeckers (of course one of the schemes is Ernie von Althaus). I would love to see you build one. Jump in and enjoy this wonderful GB.

Hello everyone, I would like to sign up with either an Eduard Fokker EV (D VIII?) or a RODEN Fokker D VII both in 1/48. I have watched all here with awe and just want to try my hand. I will need some help with sequence since what I have read through the threads, it is a little different than what I am use to (WWII). Besides Matt (Red 4) talked me into it.
