Next up to finish the second build of Roden’s kit #610. Using the other Loon resin set #LO32007 I proceed.
Moving on to the detailed late production build. This is the Old Propeller / wood & wire 5 color lozenge. Very similar to the the HGW but a bit less user friendly.
In the later production SSW D.III airframes the control yoke was changed to a Fokker type product. single handle with the auxilary throttle on the left side of the control column.

Nice modifications!
Is the wood grain also decals?
Love the look of the lozenge

That looks fantastic, I’ll enjoy watching this one come together.

Thanks for the votes of confidence!
Stock from the kit the overall diameter was too big by 1/32. So I cut the cylinder base down according to the instructions and used the image on the Avittic box top as a visual guide.
Now here I cut a smaller hole.I will put a stem of plastic sprue inside the Roden kit mounting spindle. The plastic sprue will act as further support for the rotary.
[color=#990000]Here is the Aviattic Siemens Schuckert SH.III resin motor. Basic build without wiring harness.[/color]
[color=#990000]With wiring harness. But hard to see from this angle.[/color]
[color=#990000]Next some rotary exhaust staining.[/color]
[color=#990000]Here it is. Just some touch ups and a couple minor details. The Aviattic SH.III resin motor went in with out too much fuss.[/color]
This Roden kit was detailed to one of the late production machines. It was probably 1609/18 and was assigned to ZAK 3 in Berlin for tests. It was photographed with a unique propeller that was considered experimental. It was made up of two dual bladed propellers that were notched and bolted together at the center hub. ( Fitting like like Lincoln Logs).

That is an incredible aircraft. Very nicely done!
Groot
Very nice! I have built a couple of ww1 roden kits and I know how they can often fight you every step of the way

Honestly, I have built beau coup Roden WWI kits. Never had one fight me. Challenge me yes. Thank you for all of the kind words.
You have a great looking model there. My kind of model- lots of improvisation, with good results.
That big four bladed prop is something!
Thank you!
