Rodens SSW D.III Late 1/32

[sieben]

Finished off another project that I have been working on . This time Rodens SSW D.III . I used Brenguns PE set , gaspatch guns , RP seatbelts , Uschi standard rigging line , decals from the spare box and a few kit corrections in the cockpit with added detail . And HGW 5 colour fade lozenge upper and lower with their 5 colour rib tape upper and lower . The scheme is from Jack Herris book SSW aircraft of WW 1 .

Very nice result, with a not-so-easy kit

PS: you know there is one remaining survivor in the Krakow Aeronautics Museum (at least that is my memory)

Superb!  Bloody gorgeous!

Not my favorite bird from an aesthetics point of view, but hey, it’s all business, all the time.

Very nice rendition of the SSW. The paintjob looks great, the black and white lines enhance the elegance. I will never understand, why the Germans put in that much effort to camouflage their birds with weird Lozenge camo, only to paint the fuselages so brightly. Good for us though, because it is pure fun to paint these planes.

Thank-you gentlemen . 

 

Rob , I guess that's why most of my WW1 stash are German aircraft , those bright colourful schemes !

Thank-you Phil , Rodens kits really aren't all that bad , give one a go  . Built lot's of their 1/48 WW1 subjects and a few 72 scale . Great kits , but not your shake and bake style of a kit .
