Granted, Pegasus had an SVA-5 and Hanriot HD.1, but we have had no "major" manufacturer come out with either in 1/72nd. Wouldn't it be nice if Eduard scaled-down their 1/48th scale jobs to the Proper Scale? :-) All of 'em, and not just the D.V...

Candice Uhlir just did one - which will be up for viewing soon - and it looks really good with the Americal "spring leaf" used for the upper wing camo, and the fuselage in dark wood. It has the decals for all five squadrons that flew it. It is an easy resin kit - no harder than and Eduard injection kit. Highly recommended.

On biplanes the top wing helps to support the lower, and on monoplanes the rigging does the same job, providing of course you use functional rigging. For setting the dihedral I use a pile of off-cuts of styrene sheet under the tip of each wing and blobs of Blue Tack to hold the fuselage up straight.

Once the rigging is in, the model gains a great deal of strength. On my Albatros W-4 that I just finished, the struts for the floats were as weak and wobbly as could be. After the rigging was in place, they are solid and the model sits on its floats very securely. A vac kit is a lot stronger than one would imagine. I have the Rareplane Gotha G.III that I built about 15 years ago and the wings are as strong today as when I built it. It's about a 12" wingspan, single thickness wing. And as you can imagine, the fighters are even stronger because of their small size.
