I was wondering who is the manufacturer of early (read W W I) aircraft? I'm interested in doing the aircraft flown by the Canadian Forces during this time.
Any leads out there? I've taken a look at the kits from Eduard (Gavia) and I was wondering if there is anyone else who makes them.
Thanks for your help, it's really appreciated.

I would recommend Roden, they make some very nice WWI kits and they are fairly easy on the wallet.

Roden's website can be found here . Some info of what they have out already, future releases, and a gallery of builds can be found there. HTH

Hi Doug
It's also well worth checking out Special Hobby and Pegasus, but I think Eduard are, arguably, the best - in terms of moulding quality and completeness, their latest kits take some beating.
I previewed the Eduard Sopwith Camel when it appeared last year - it's now also available in a Profi-Pack version with even more etched details.
Hope this helps
