Roden 1/48th Gladiator Mk.II in Finnish Service
The Roden Gladiator is one of their better 1/48th biplane kits, owing mainly to the parts being a bit more robust than most of their WW1 kits. This model represents GL-255, a machine belonging to LeLv 26 flown by 44-victory Ace Sgt. Oiva [...]
Raymond Collishaw’s “Black Maria” – Roden 1/32 Sopwith Triplane
Having trashed Billy Bishop, here's a model flown by the Canadian (and Empire/Commonwealth) Ace of Aces, Raymond Collishaw, whose 60 victories in the Triplane and Camel were fully documented by his squadron mates with whom he flew, and are [...]
Roden 1/32 Nieuport 24
The Roden Nieuport 24 kit done as the airplane flown by Charles Nungesser. This airplane is hard to track down because the superstitious Nungesser kept the rudder (with serial "1895") from his Nie. 17 and put it on all his [...]
Roden 1/48th S.E.5a
In the box, this kit provides all of the classic Roden pebbly, wobbly plastic, fiddly fits, obscure attachment points, and horrific decals at no extra cost to the modeler. The scariest part was shaving down the tabs for the cabane and [...]
Roden 1/48 SE5a, (Mick Mannock)
This is another old build. It's the Roden SE, the Part PE set was not available when I started the kit, so I scratched some detail, and used the limited old set for the Aurora/Monogram kit. The one up to date PE section was the Eduard [...]
Roden 1/48 AT-28D
Frequently a model project will lead to a writing project in TCWorld (and vice-versa). I got the Roden T-28 kit (the first release), and was talking to Ross McMillan of Scale Aircraft Conversions about it, and Ross said he hoped someone [...]
Roden 1/72 Pfalz D.IIIa
The basic modifications affected the cabin. It was also the location of fixed horizontal stabilizer. Color options of Roden was not I, too hackneyed, so that's found a striped version.
Another 1/32 SPAD
This time the Roden SPAD VII with Pheon Decals to do Raoul Lufbery's airplane from S.124, the Lafayette Escadrille. A good kit worth checking out.
Roden 1/32 Fokker Dr.I – Manfred von Richtofen
Probably one of the most recognizeable airplanes in history. Done back in 2004 when the kit first came out, using the Cutting Edge decal sheet. Lots of good history in the sheet, I think this is from the research the most accurate look [...]
Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28
Done a few years ago when it first came out. Markings are for Eddie Rickenbacker's airplane. A nice, simple kit without a lot of rigging, good for someone just starting in the WW1 genre. To me the Nieuport 28 is one of the most [...]
