I compared my kit with drawings in the old Harleyford book. There are
shape inconsistencies for the wings, tailplanes, and rudders. I do not
know if the drawings are accurate - old book. I also compared them to the
drawings in Combat Aircraft of WWI in Color. Again, there are shape
inconsistencies.
I assume the kit represents a Mk V. Perhaps there were design differences
during the production run of the original aircraft and this accounts for
the shape discrepencies. Anyway, I have been looking thru my pile of old
FSMs trying to find the volume with the article about Bob Rice's
scratchbuilt Ilya. I seem to recall this had drawings, also.
Neat kit. Should build into an impressive model.
FYA: The legalese on the box says the model is not suitable for children
under 36 months of age! So, you new fathers better look for another kit
for your kids.
