This kit was purchased decades ago in a model train store. It was the only non train model they had.

It took years to get around to it and this was my first foray into aftermarket decals and was one of the first to have airbrushed paint.

Since then, through multiple moves, the struts are breaking and its just hanging on. So, it is time to rebuild the struts, add the minimal rigging the D VII had and add control horns and wires for the surfaces.

I also build the same model many years ago and enjoyed it very much. Yours is much better than mine.
