von Richthofen's Fokker Dr.1

The all red plane is the Roden kit. Construction was about the same as the Eduard kit with the exception of the wing struts. On the Eduard kits, they are single piece struts that pass through the center wing. The Roden kit gives you separate upper and lower struts. This model was painted with an overall dark red over the CDL undercoat.

Overall, I think the Eduard kit is a little easier to build, but a very nice looking Dr.1 can be built from either kit. The outline and size look like they belong to the Dr.1 and match the drawings I have. Either kit would make a nice addition to any collection, and is head and shoulders above the Airfix and Revell offerings.
