I would like to get some feedback as to what are the better kits of ww 1 aircraft. I have recently acquired some Rohen kits

JackFlash to Molojko, For 1/72 (& 1/48) Your on the right track with Roden. For basic plastic they are great. A little better and great detail is Eduard. These are the two big dogs on WWI at this time. JackFlash Over.

Milojko,

I'll second JackFlash' opinions. Roden kits are good, sometimes a bit over-engineered as they try to get as many variants of a plane out as possible. Their engines and mg sprues are great, in that you'll always get some extras for the spares box (and who can't use more 1/72 mg's)

I've only purchased one Eduard kit (DH-2 Profipack) and though all the parts look pretty on the sprue, the fact that I can purchase two or three Roden kits for the price of Eduard means I'm more likely to work with the fiddly parts.

Also, take a look at Toko, Eastern Express, and Olimp for further WW1 subjects, in much the same mold (no pun intended) as Roden.

I bought the Eduard Profipack Dr.1 and it is a very nice kit. It was $17 and number 7016. Way ahead of the old Revell WW1 kits.
