Eduard''s new Fokker D.VII is already being cited as possibly the best WW1 kit of 2005. It''s certainly pretty spectacular, as you can see from this detailed in-box review.

Very nice review Rowan.
Looking forward to see your build of this.
as a little inspiration, here's a photo of one taking off, last week at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

Hi Rowan!
The kit review is great... but behond that, the remarks you made about Eduard are so true! They can simply not be considered as Short Run manufacturers anymore if we are talking about quality! Their kits are equal to the best kits produced by Tamiya or Hasegawa! And the instruction booklets of their kits are real gems!
Thanks for sharing!

Cheers guys
I hope to crack on a bit with the Fokker tis weekend, so I'll post some pics of my progress.
Dave - I envy you being able to get out to Old Rhinebeck; I've wanted to visit ever since I first read about the museum 30+ years ago! One day, maybe...
All the best
