PvG Aussie Posted April 5 Share #1 Posted April 5 (edited) Artesania Latina Fokker Dr.I !!! Is it just me or do others have the unbelievable difficulties with die cast and PE pieces of this kit. +750 pieces should be a challenge, but not impossible without cutting, filing, bending and forcing into place! I would love to hear what AL have to say as I have spent about 4 hours today fitting eight die cast and PE pieces. Perhaps they should stick to ships!

PvG Aussie Posted April 8 Author Share #2 Posted April 8 People tell me I am very patient but today I nearly gave up completely on the AL Fokker Dr1! The photographic instructions are simply not clear enough. Luckily I had a little experience to rely on.
