MikeA Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Love the weathered lozenge finish - looks for all the world like you've stretched fine fabric over the frame. Beautiful! Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Exquisite !!!! Do you think it would be easy to kitbash the Meng Dr.I with the Roden wings? It looks this can be done and would solve most of the Roden kit issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 (edited) Hi Thierry, "kitbash the Meng Dr.I with the Roden wings". I don't see any real problem merging the Meng DR.1 with the Roden Fokker D.VI wing. Remembering of course that the D.VI was developed from the DR.1 and was the predecessor to the D.VII. Of course you'd have the problem of removing the DR.1 lower and middle wings. I reality there isn't that much wrong with building the Roden kit and probably would be less work that trying to convert a DR.1, Mike Edited April 27 by sandbagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
