I know that most of you have received your Fokker D-VII kits. I am sure that there are negative and positive comments about it. I can take it, after all we can not improve the kit if we do not know what you think. REMEMBER if you just do not like it you can send it back for a full refund including $5.00 shipping.
Please be constructive and not destructive in your comments and remember that if there is good things list them too.
Thank you
Larry

Received mine on Thursday. The laser cut parts are really well done.The wood appears to be very good and all the wire parts were well protected in the box. No sign of damage even though the shipping box was in bad shape. Overall I am impressed with the kit and will start it soon. The only downside I see is the instructions. I am used to a bit more detail. I think this is very nice kit of a beautiful aircraft. Thanks..

I agree the instructions need to be redone. When we started this kit the instructions on the original plan was:
"FUSELAGE CONSTRUCTION: CUT BOTH SIDES TO SHAPE THEN MOUNT UPRIGHTS. ATTACH BOTH SIDES TOGETHER AT REAR AND ADD TOP AND BOTTOM CROSS MEMBERS. CEMENT BOTTOM IN PLACE, ADD TOP BLOCKS & CARVE TO CROSS SECTION. FORM COWLING, CEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS, ECT."
So we had a long way to go.
Thank you for your input.
