Here is a very easy correction to accurize your Roden 1/32 Fokker
Dr.1 kit. This set replaces the cowl face with a beautifully cast
resin cowling that is hollow-cast to accommodate the engine. The
details on the cowling have been corrected to reflect the configuration
on the production aircraft. The correction entails a simple parts
swap. That's it!
The casting on these parts has been improved to minimize the 'edge'
between the usable parts and their casting blocks. This new approach
will significantly reduce the time and effort required to remove
these parts from their blocks and get them 'cleaned up' for installation.
This set is definitely a 'no-brainer' for the World War I modeler
and you may just have to buy a few extra Roden kits just to exploit
the possibilities in details and markings from Cutting Edge! Definitely
recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor
Productions for this review sample!
