Arado 68 F-1, Roden 1/48
Roden from Ukraine is well known producer of plastic kits. They made two variants of Arado 68 in version E and F-1 in 1/48 scale. Both kits are almost same, except front part of fuselage with engine and propeller. Kits are most likely made [...]
Roden 1/48 IDF OV-1D Mohawk
The two Mohawk aircraft that served in the IDF endured less than 8 years in service before being returned to the US. Both particular aircraft are displayed in aviation museums.
Roden's Mohawk is a difficult kit to build. It requires [...]
Six turning, four burning, a lot of masking: Roden 1/144 B-36 D
Here are some photos of my recently completed B-36, representing a plane (01086, “Miss Featherweight”) based at Carswell during the early 1950’s. This model was built using the Roden 1/144 kit, with a few scratch built details. I [...]
Roden 1/72 Felixstowe F.2A
After 20 years since it appeared, Roden's excellent Felixstowe hold its ground. The early and late F.2A are depicted here. I used AIMS decals for the red ship. Rigging is elaborate, but thanks to stiff coper wires from coated cables, the [...]

Roden 1/72 Gotha G.V.
This is my third build of the venerable Roden Gotha. Released 20 years ago, it retains its charm in terms of the right scale for a build of the type and of course, the large surface areas covered by the colorful lozenge camouflage.
The [...]
Roden Be2c attempt!
Second go at a Be2c for a friend who's Great Grandfather flew them. Very tricky mounting top wing and an absolutely massive rigging job.Not perfect by any means. I wouldn't want to tackle Airfix's 1/72 version of this! It's a lovely [...]
Fokker Dr.I, Royal Prussian Jasta 11, Lechelle, 1918 (Ltn.Eberhard Mohnicke)
Hi...
This is my offering of Roden's 1/32 scale Fokker F.1 triplane, finished as a Dr.I production variant.
The kit is good but with some challenging areas, especially the attachment of the lower wing. I would recommend detaching the [...]

Brett Green reports:
I am greatly saddened to report that prominent Ukrainian artist Valery Grygorenko was killed in a Russian attack near Kyiv yesterday. Even if you don't recognise the name you will almost certainly know his work, in [...]
