Would have been nice to see the spruce break down better showing the parts . As Stephen has mentioned in a previous thread . The lozenge looks different in the kit then on their web site . Looking forward to a review of the kit when some one gets the chance to do one . The kit will be added to the collection :)

Interesting! Never heard of a Siemens-Schuckert. Squatty little guy,isn't he? Any other schemes in addition to lozenge? 8-| Cheers! C[ ] C[ ] C[ ] Rick

I would have liked proper sprue shots too, but I think they didn't want to open the bags, so they could still sell the kit. I'd not heard of this aircraft before (not really having any knowledge of WWI aircraft), but it looks very interesting.

Nice to see (for the first time perhaps?) lozenge rib tapes---but is that a 'cut them out yourself block'?. I remember the old Eduard 48th. (still have decals--but can't remember what I did with the plastic!!!!!!) Still and all--a nice addition to the growing range--who, just a few years ago would have dared to imagine it? Dave.

thegirl SAID
Yeah , you have to cut your own rib tapes . Nice to have the extra for doing that though . I'm surprised you guy's haven't heard of this fighter before . I've build the Eduard kit and still have another in the stash along with Kosters two kit's as well . The SSW D.III was Eduard's first release 1996 kit # 8001 and OOP now , lots of PE parts are in it which about 90 % are for the cockpit . I would really love for Eduard to redo this one in 48 scale . ;)

Here are some shots of the Eduard 1:48 kit and this is whats inside the box ...... Not a bad little kit . It's a limited style kit which does need some still . The lozenge is way off what the colours should be . I love the older Eduard kits , just something about them . Windsock datafile # 29 By P M Grosz covers the D.III to the D.IV Which I highly suggest it's very worth while to pick this up . ( place thumbs u...

Hi Terry, I remember most fondly the exquisite Koster Sopwith Triplane--every bit as good as Eduards. :-H Dave.

thegirl SAID
Hi Dave , I have Eduards tripe , but not the Koster one . Even though these kits are long out of production or at least the Eduard kit . I'm very glad that roden has step up and produced this kit in 32 scale . Even with the issues which are already stated on some other sites . It will not stop me from picking up the kit . The only thing in the Koster kit's which I don't like are the engines , but that is what Copper State Models comes in for replacements or could just detail the two spaer...

Bristol SAID
Hi Terri, Ooops! i'm a silly bigger! :-X Sorry 'bout that ---I have a few Eduard Sopwith Tripehounds in the stash--but me dodgy old eyes limit even 48th. nowadays and I am happy to go with 32nd.---- 8) 8) All the best, Dave-----love your Fok. D.VII by the way
