Still waiting to see a WWI kit that is equivalent in detail,
accuracy and fit to some of the WWII 1/48 out there. DML is
interesting, but fit can be a problem. At least the
molding is clean unlike Eduard. Eduard PE is really cool,
but the molding is pretty crude. Same with Smer and it has
no PE. Interesting subjects. BTW, I prefer the brass PE to
stainless steel PE (rocks breaks scissors, scissors cuts
paper, Eduard beats DML/Dragon).

So when will companies such as Tamiya, Accurate, Hasegawa,
etc come out with really nice WWI stuff? It sure seems like
this field is always doing field dressings over kit
shortcomings.
