Here are a few photos of my completed 1:32 scale SSW D.III by Roden. The kit went together well with only a few areas that needed attention. The kit lends itself to super detailing but I built nearly OOB. The decals are a far cry from Roden's previous efforts but they could still do with improvement. Fit of parts is pretty good but all locating pins for the undercarriage and wing struts including cabanes need to be removed and replaced with metal pins. I am very happy with the finished model and the colour scheme stands out well amongst my other 1:32 scale WW1 aircraft models.
Hope you like it.

Nice work Des, a little clean for my taste but a sweet build.

Good to know that Roden are improving things too

Love it!

Nicely done Des!

Des - Terrific! You always do superb work. Ron

Great looking model Des, as mentioned on the "Drome". I like it a lot. It looks as if you relocated the positioning of the rear hand grips. Nicely done.

Well done! I followed the build on the Drome and must say I like your style.

Thank you for all the positive comments, they are most appreciated.

Relocating the rear hand grips is quite simple, I just drilled 4 small holes then cut between them, removed the offending hand grips and after a little bit of trimming on the fuselage I repositioned them. Only took a small amount of filler and the job was done. The mistake on Roden's part was very obvious if they were left as they were so the little bit of effort required to rectify the error is well worth it.

I like it. The pictures look a little bit dark, so it is hard for my old eyes to pick out details. I haven't picked up this kit yet, but now I think I should, Thanks for sharing.
