Working on the preview even now. The short answer is - I like it. My tally sheets say there were only about 12 at the front at any given time. My references say the original 1918 bird was "LABOR INTENSIVE". Very little welding. Pop rivet unions has upto eighteen rivets. This maybe one of the easiest kits I have ever built BUT more on that later. Also I found that at least some of the test machines had BMW engines. So don't be too quick to put the Roden version in the spares box. More to come.

Interesting note here. On the original aircraft it appears the surface rust inhibitor / primer at least for the interior was a dark red. But this might be a restoration job as well. more checking is needed..
