After going through the kit I am pleased to report I haven't seen any new problems. The kit is looking good and the main changes are the new BMW IIIa molding and the engine cowlings. One typo so far on page 10. the machine was at the 25 Aero not the 85th.

Here is an earlier thread on the BMW IIIa motor and its applications to the Fokker D.VII airframe. There were ALB. & OAW machines that had BMW IIIa motor. From what we know they carried the "F" designation but only on the factory nameplates, not on the fuselage side panels.
