Special Hobby Message-ID: Rick the librarian says: >I DO think this is a very nice kit and looks like it would be fun to build. I don't have a Tabloid but I have the S-H SPAD VII, Lloyd and Schneider kits and think all of them are *very* good value for money and will make very nice models. A Tabloid is somewhere in my future and (close your eyes Matt) despite my grumping about SPAD's I a couple more of the SPAD VII's will surely join the one on my shelf. The kit is just too nice and the variety of colourful subjects too tempting. Which brings me to ask - is there a Special Hobby website - as part of someone elses (MPM??) if not alone? And after the four mentioned here, are there other WW1 subjects coming? I certainly hope so.

The Mai aircraft with the bone had different guns > did it not? That's true - the Mai "bone" D Va was one of two Jasta 5 a/c armed with the Siemens motor machine gun, which seems to be missing from the kit. Beside that: aren't the aileron control cranks (is that the right word?) missing for the D V? At least I can't discover them on the new D V sprue...

Without having checked any references, I was always under the impression that there was a change in wingspan and wing rib spacing between the E III and the E IV. I think that the "usual referenes" always mention that the wingspan was increased for the E IV (to cater for the higher weight of the twin row U III and the twin guns). Has this question already been discussed here, and is this only my failing memory, or is this a problem with the otherwise excellent Eduard kit? Volker ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 08:58:26 -0800 From: Volker Haeusler To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: re: Merlin DH.10 Message-ID: <00e801c2bd80$7ce8f2a0$146e160a@CCO03> I also think the Merlin DH 10 is one worst of those kits. Speaking of Merlin: I was in the Modellbaustudio during last weeks trip to Germany, and Detlef Schorsch still has a good selection of Merlin kits (ok, good selection and Merlin kits are a contradiction), including the not-at-all-bad Jenny. And speaking of DH 10's, I also saw a number of Eastern Star DH 10 vacs over there at the Modellbaustudio. Now that kit was one of the best ever coming from the Joe Chubbock/Les Cooper stable, including a substantial number of Aeroclub white metal parts and a beautiful decal sheet.

Didn't see any future planned OT releases in the proper scale. I originally bought one each Tabloid and Schneider from NKR when they first came out. Since the recent list has discussed all sorts of progressive variations, today I sent Earl an order for another pair. I think these kits are great and the price is right. While they may not be of recent "Eduard" quality, they offer a good basis for doing things that I always wanted to do with the Tabloid/Schneider theme. Hey, I may even get into racing machines.

Of course, everyone's pocket varies but given it takes me at least a month or so to build a kit, I'd rather pay the extra money and have better kit. In my view, the Eduard D.V is just about the nicest and easiest biplane I've ever built. We have a choice and choice is a good thing but I'd rather not have Roden duplicating Eduard's models. Make no mistake, I like Roden/Toko kits - I've built 9 of them. Michael _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

You'll realise from my other comments that I agree entirely about the Eduard kit quality. Indeed, I have built one and still have two in stock, so I may just remain "tempted" However, if the Roden is *close* and I believe it will be, I would almost certainly choose it for any extra D.V's because of the extras included, and the substantial saving. OTOH if I were building just one, ever, I'd choose the Eduard *now* until I see just how good this Roden is.
