1/72 Roden Fokker E.V/D.VIII

This is a Roden plastic model of a plane flew by Oblt.  Erich Lowenhardt in August, 1918.  The kit went together relatively easy with no major fit problems. I used Polly S and ModelMaster acrylic paints for this one. The most difficult part was using the thick lozenge decals. I had to apply the decals on as I assembled to ease placement. I used ample amounts of Microsol to get them to lay down. The horizontal stripes were cut from a spare decal sheet I had.  All in all, I am pleased with the results...and I didn't have to pull out the airbrush!  I love these colorful schemes used on WWI planes.
