  I decided to build this kit for two reasons:my 1/72 scale WW I commitment was a bit slack,and Steve didn't have a D VII in the gallery. This is a level 1 kit, with two finishing options. I chose the multi colored Oblt. Rudolph Berthold version as it was more challenging. I added some scratch built control surface actuators & rigging,and made bushings for the sloppy prop shaft. The pilot figure was poor as well but I dumped him in at the last minute:he's not fastened in for replacement considerations.

  I used markers to a fair extent on this build. I have used markers on tires and wires in the past, but on this build I give' r 'dat,using them on the prop & for the multi colored under wing scheme. I am happy with the results.

  All in all a reasonably good kit for the price.
