This is a model of 25/16, the very first R.VI built by Zeppelin Staaken. Since the kit gives you Schütte Lanz built 27/16, a few changes had to be made to the engine condole struts for example.
I also added fairings for the turnbuckles and strenghtened the landing gear with some brass parts. The lozenge is brush painted with a mixture of Humbrol enamels and artistic oil colours.
The quality of the kit was great, which is certainly a good think, since the build was complicated enough without extra difficulties. The decals were unfortunately of Roden's usual
steel plate quality. Micro Sol won't help with them.
