You can enjoy the build of complex WWI models. At the 1/72nd scale, Roden's Gotha is handy to work on and does not require from you to detail the blank areas found on larger scales. Rigging is tedious, but I used copper wires that are stiff and easy to shape. No drilling and pulling threads.

The model itself is a mixed bag. Much cleaning is required. Wings are nicely molded, but the fuselage required a hefty amount of putty. Engine nacelles joints to the wings are problematic, particularly in this sub variant. I inserted steel wires to secure the position of the fragile structure and to maintain the correct dihedral angle.
Enjoy the photos.
