Hi.
This is my recently finished DFW T28 from Elf in 1/72 build OOB.
The kit is nice it has some PE parts, a bit too thick but OK decals and the main plastic parts are well detailed but also very soft . When I was building the model there was one problem with the interior. The parts were a bit too wide when I was putting together the fuselage. But because the plastic is soft I just glued it and used a few clamps to hold it together.
The model was painted with gunze acrylics and weathered with oil washes and post shading.

Nice job!
I have this model as well, my girlfriend bought it for me when i was in Dusseldorf last year. She thought it looked like a cartoon plane, not real. Not only was it real, it even had some advantages over it's oposition, just think if it had of been accepted instead of the Fokker Eindecker. I find it hard to picture the great aces flying this and being taken seriously!

If memory serves there were two prototypes only.
