The opinion of a beginner modelist (who dreams with becoming a typical WWI builder, Cam, but don't expect such quality jumps from me again :-D): Of course we all want to build accurate things, and that's why we are always buying books, searching things on the web, asking for references, colors of cowls and these things you know better than me. However, I honestly don't care if the Revell Fokker D.VII is a late Fokker-built version and I'm going to use it to build OAW-built machines (as all Jasta 18 planes). Well, at least not now. What I want is to build them the best way I can (which includes searching a way to make the model more beautiful, like trying cockpit details) and, most important of all, to have fun. I know that Roden will release a OAW version later, and for sure I'll buy it, as well as other versions because I like to build kits and I liked the Roden models I've already got. Anyway, until I have enough skill to fix certain problems with kits, I won't lose my precious sleeping hours thinking that my work isn't completely accurate :-)))))))) That's it But that's just my humble opinion.

Since when was it a requirement for the WW1 list to be like *anyone* Frankly, this is an elite group, full of people smart enough to tell which emails come from the list by reading the names of the senders and the subject line without the need to be bashed over the head. Major PITA from my perspective, because I receive email on my work account where sweeping software counts incoming mail with *any* [listname] in the header and compiles a management report which requires the receiver of large numbers of listmails to justify their membership or get off. However - you're the boss, and I can go to digest if I must, despite the loss of immediacy.

Since I am somewhat involved with this review I'll submit my $.02. There are two sides of this fence. There's the "Back when I were a lad we didn't have new OT models coming out every month. We should count our blessings and be glad the new Fokker is out." Then we have the "It's inaccurate for the blankety blank reasons and therefore Roden should have saved their time." As usual I am riding the fence. It is great to have it, but I think Roden could have done better. Now I am going to side with Herr Hustad on this one. I found the molding quality to be very disappointing. My copy has the trailing edge problem, mushy radiator and little pimples on the undersurface of the top wing where the struts locate. This is not the quality I have come to expect from Roden. I feel that Roden let me down this time. To quote the banished TC "We need to hold manufacturers accountable for producing poor kits. Otherwise they will not see a reason to improve them." That does not always hold true, especially for some of the cottage industry. It certainly should hold true for a major player like Roden. They get a solid "C" from me too. The lozenge is much improved though huh? Later!

Already months ago I setup a rule to filter the list mail and move it to a different folder so to me it makes not really a difference if the new [WWI] tag is added to the subject line or not. But you did a good job with it and I only can aggree to it because in case of no such rule is set or can't bet set it easily allows to identify list mail. In fact I had setup my rule to filter list mail from the other mail to keep a better overview of my mail. Now the overview is automatically given thanks to the identifcation tag in the subject line.

I found the molding quality to be very disappointing." Sorry, but I can not agree fully on that one. Yes, *part of* the moldings are not up to Rodenīs recent standard (but then some others are great - just look on the engine/gun sprue). But then I just simply can not agree on that upper wing judgment. This was discussed on the list before, and my (and a number of otherīs) opinion is that this is really nothing more than *very slight* warping, nothing comparable to the dreadful Esci/Fuji/whatever wing. And in general: I think the "C" is *way* to harsh. That does not mean that we should not point to problems with some kits. Most of the points were already mentioned on the list. But that judgement does *not* do the Roden kit fair assessment IMHO.
