Hi folks
I´ve been very lazy at this form for some time, can’t explain why but the time has gone to build more than chat on the net. I’m still working on that big Dr.I from Roden. This kit is a struggle for me, It seems that it would not go together. Still there some progress, so I though you like some pics of it.


The model is in its primerstage, this for checking out imperfections and lining up that home vac cowling.



The spandau´s is done and painted. These will be nice eyecatcher when the model is done. If it will this time.


Cheers folks
Lars
