There may be others in the database but their title doe not suggest a WW1 usage. (PS. for the WW2 modellers there are airfoils for the P51 Mustang and Hawker Tempest. Likewise there are probably many others that I did not recognise from a quick scan of the list.

Not so! DML's is an excellent kit. Aside from all the good points that everyone raises about the kit. What some of you call "detail errors" are actually DML's attempts to improve the prototypes design. I know of at least 2 cases where this is true: 1) Flat engine pushrods carry are lighter than round ones. 2) Upholstering the wing undersurfaces sure could increase pilot survivability in case of a crash. ********************************************************************* Joey Valenciano WW1 modeller, teacher, jazz musician, joeyval@pusit.admu.edu.ph sitarist tel.

SVA-5 hmm.... one wing should be longer than the other to compensate for wing torque. Anyone foolish enough to correct this is doomed to make new struts too. ********************************************************************* Joey Valenciano WW1 modeller, teacher, jazz musician, joeyval@pusit.admu.edu.ph sitarist tel.
