Beers for this one,the paintscheme is just awesome

Larsa Q

I'm with the rest of the guys on this Carl , you have done an amazing job on this build and built it so fast !!!!

It is one very colourful paint scheme .

Carl,

Sorry, but unlike the extremely generous Larsa (who sent THREE ) .............I could only send you the ONE

I drank the others. Needed the aluminum to repair my sunglasses.

I'll tell you one thing..............that pilot drew attention to himself.

Steve

Hey Carl,

Your gonna HAVE to give us a few lessons in Plywood painting. I keep looking back at the earlier posts. Really FANTASTIC. OK, OK.....I'll send ONE more to get a lesson.........

Regards
Steve

Wonderful model Carl, congratulations!

The decals are a bit translucent, aren't they?

Yes they are. You can even see the read and white stripes through the black portions. That is the only weak part of the kit. Maybe we will see some AM decals in the future. I am going to let it sit for a few days to dry up real good. Then, I am going to mask it all up and paint the marking on over the decals. I really am not looking forward to that endeavor.

I will make up a little slide show on how I do the plywood. Maybe next week.

II was afraid of it, I smell problems with the markings of my striped Fokker Dr.1....

How goes it Carl?

Just a bit sidetracked. There is a lot of holiday shopping to do with 11 grandkids, plus 2 neighbor kids that might as well be grandkids. I actually moved it back to the workbench a little while ago. I will do a little work on it tomorrow morning.

I have really enjoyed following this build. I have this kit, but am just a bit leary of jumping in. Reading your build and the rapidity of your build is motivating. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and abilities. Here's a few beers for the effort.

Thanks. This kit is one of those great kits that can be built quikly and look really good. But if you want to take your time and do some extra work, you will end up with a real show-stopper. I actually finished up the last of the touchup work and added the final pieces. But since I have been out of town, I haven't had a chance to photograph it yet. But now that all my familial obligations are complete...

Yes?

Yes?

Outstanding Carl , she's one fine looking model ! Just love those stripes !

Excellent Carl!!!! Several more images I will have to send to Roden for their website!

Stephen, I agree completely, this is a really nice looking model! Congrats Carl!!!!!! Speaking of Rodens website, I tried to send pics but got no response and no pictures have appeared, of my DIII. Vista doesn't allow me to send E Mail direct via a link on a site. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Greetings Rick send them to me and I'll forward them. They seem to recognize my e-mail and my subject phrases. But it takes them a long time to get things up on their website even when they send them up.

If they want different shots or backgrounds, just let me know.

Great Work , Carl !!! I'm sure you spent a lot of time masking.
I'm planning to build the same machine but in 1/48.

Cheers,

Claudio

Actually, I am trying to change over to 1/32. But there is no escaping 48th scale.

Thanks everybody. If you try one of these kits, I think you will be happy with the results.

Great job on this crate, looking really good. I am starting to look real hard at 1/32 myself, my eyesight isn't getting any better, so I've noticed. Quite a few manufacturers are putting out some real nice kits so the variety is showing up as well. I have a bunch of Rodens 1/32 kits now and while I haven't put glue to plastic yet, they look quite workable and from the results everyone is getting, what's not to like?

Carry on, Dwayne
