Looking grim for getting a DVII to me for Xmas but this is so tempting... anyone want a 95% finished Roden Tripe?....

What a curve ball from WNW – first dangling the D.VII, then WHAM, a Tripe!

I'll trade yours for mine (It's only about 55% finished)

But seriously, why is it always the case? Once you've gone through the trouble of converting and fixing a kit, another one much better turns up? Must be one of Stephens Modeling laws at work

Still hoping for the D.VII to turn up before X-mas though!

Well the puppy dog eyes worked, SWMBO succumbed to buying me one for Xmas.... time to see if the usual Delivery system gets it here or not I guess.

Now that just gives me how long to finish all my *in progress* builds before then?

Some lovely marking options straight out the box too.

I Agree – they've picked some very attractive markings for this one.

Actually, this'll be the first time they give us a chance to do a"French" machine out of the box!
