Finished...................
I was expecting a bit of a tussle with the Roden Junkers D.I - but it ended up being a nice build, the parts are well engineered, and the fit is very good - a lot of detail is hidden, but it's still there. The assembly is delicate, I broke the tail fin off several times. The only downside was the decals, they were very fragile & broke apart easily - a lot of careful positioning was needed to reassemble the jigsaw - they responded partly to decal solution - I did several applications, but they are what they are.
This was an ebay auction purchase <£18 - a good price, as the retail seems to be around £28-£32. I'm afraid I wouldn't have bought at that price, a little too much for a 1/48 plane, but, that's just my personal take.............
