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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
Roden 1/48th Fokker D-VII “Udet”
This one has Copper State Models Spandaus and Aeromaster lozenge decals. The black and white striping was painted first, then the decals trimmed to fit. Tail chevron from Superscale white decal stock. A fairly straightforward build, but [...]
