I built my first plastic airplane model in 1956, aged 6 yrs old, and I have made almost any airplane or car you can name, at least once. I thought that the Lindberg line and Aurora were the worst I've ever seen, until my first model from Roden. It's a shame really, that a company that makes available so many interesting model options, so many planes that have not been modelled or have not been available for some time, makes a product that is just not worth the time and effort. Not to mention they are overpriced. I have seen better produced parts on the cheapest vacuum - formed kits. Very disappointing!

Split parts (fuselage, wings) don't have alignment pins, so care must be taken to align them accordingly. The propellers are extremely difficult to assemble. That having been said, it's a good kit of a DC-7. The decals are excellent! Some parts are almost microscopic in size, so tiny fingers would help. Finished plane looks very nice.
