I believe it when I see it.

Gavia was silent for over 2 years and eduard announced this kit for mid last year.

OTOH I would be happy if they get back in business as I'd love to see their announced Fieseler Storch

best wishes

Yes - it's great to see Gavia back with a new kit!

Hey alpha_tango, Viola!



Greetings all: Rowan forwarded this little jewel to me as he was walking out the door on his vacation. I was totally blown away when it arrived today. She is a beauty. Now I am really going to be challenged to duplicate the finish that Lars uses on translucent fabric.

Hi Stephen
I’ll almost envy you to have such friends that never happened here. Can we looking forward to a nice review on this little gem? It’s among the list of kits to buy for me, Moduni in Germany have it in stock. But I’ll have to many project on the bench already, so it have to wait until this autumn.
Cheers

It would be a pleasure to go on patrol with you again Jean-Luc! Though I may have the better machine in this case. This kit is nice on the tree. Now back to the Camel...

Hey Lars, No worries mate. There is plenty of good will to round here. You need something just let me know. I will do the very best I can on a review. Thats what my own website is based on. Helping the average modeler build stringbags...WWI aviation subjects. But here is my contribution.

I'll do the review here first. While I do the build. Jean - Luc may join me with his version of the ESCI kit.

Hi Stephen!

The ESCI kit I was talking about is the 1/48 Fieseler Storch, not the Pfalz... sorry!
