Eduard have released a nice little photoetched fret for their Fokker Dr.I Weekend edition. But I wonder what the advantage is to buy it?

Thanks!

I have to agree.....Price wise for a few dollars more...the dual combo offers so much more.

Another think I dont understand...why the kits are released then the PE weeks later?
Because of this I never bought their 109E1....I couldnt keep my hands off till the PE came out, now new things *Wingnuts* have grasped my attention so it's probably a sale lost.....saying that the E4 is out soon

*washes mouth out with household soap for sullying the EA forum with WWII abominations

Uuuuhhh ok The advantages in the PE are

1. Spandau gun jackets and associated pieces that are a more accurate and detailed.
2. The chin pans are for the Dr. I and the F.I types.
3. The push rods are far more "inscale" than the plastic ones.
4. Gauge faces where there are none in the weekend kit.

Maybe my e-mails were effective? I took them to task about releasing these kits without the PE option several months back.

The weekend kit will be around and easy to get for a long time . Having the option to get the PE set if one choose to do so is great . Not to many parts but enough to add detail that doesn't come with the kit .

The "Bosch" starting magneto PE 4 they include (that they tell you to put near the pilot's foot) is bogus. It was designed for inline motors not rotary engines. The small roatry starter mag is molded to the pilots left side fuselage at shoulder level.
