For a long time I did not make any WW1 plane and this one will be nice back. This is simple kit from Eduard and will be nice chance to test some extra products in this build

Before continue, I would like to give some tips about the plane as well the kit. Lets see on photos:

01. small letters Dr. I under the middle wing. Text on propeller, in many cases miss on kits. Also note structure of propeller wood. Cylinder of different type engine is different color.

02. Note how top green warp to the bottom on the wheel airfoil section. At beck you seen handles for operating plane on ground, miss on this kit.

03. Note wiring on plane, front are stronger type and rear are thin and doubled. There is clock between machine guns. Rear section is of leather, no idea why in kit it is suggested to be painted in grey color.

04. Metal plate ends there, as seen on photo.

05. Windshield is not every day item on Dr. I

06. In most known cases, there was serial

07. Handle at rear bottom of fuselage
