After looking at WS33 I'm not convinced that all Junkers D.I turtle decks were split along the centerline hmmm? My question is:

Did the factory workers treat the corrugated duraluminum sheet as fabric would be treated for the most part?
In other words were any two Junkers D.Is skinned exactly the same?

Nice that Roden gave us this piece in a single part (Makes fixing a whole lot easier)
Still the best D.I in 1/48th scale for the $$$$$ in my book!
