Well, Steve, if someone did, it would be out of "our" price range,
unless one of the "bigger" companies would make one. Hasegawa? DML
(scaling down (and correcting) their 1/48th job)? If it isn't one
of these companies, then - if someone like Meikraft or Pegasus does
it - it will be $20 or more. For $20, you can buy 4 Revell kits. I
had the same dilemma with the Pegasus D.Va, and the Meikraft SPAD 13:
there are less expensive alternatives out there. Granted, there's a
lot of work to be done to correct them, but sometimes that's half the
fun. Sometimes. I would love to have a 1/72nd Dr.I that requires
(a) no, or (b) little modifications - and include a complete
cockpit!:-o
