>That's a very nice model Paul. How was the kit in general? I have it in the
stash for a "someday" project.

Mike, thnaks Good kit. The wings are not too exagerated, under a coat of 
paint, except the little plates that cover the strut attachments have rivets 
that are a bit too large, I think. Needed to sand them off anyway, and found 
some leftover PE from a Fokker D.VII kit that looked the part. For the rest, 
fit was good, except for the fuselage halves behind the observer. Tended to 
sink in, so needed a lot of filler. I don't like the control surface tabs by 
which they're meant to be glues in place, but now I know they need trimming 
a bit the result would be better another time. The lower wing to fuselage 
setup was really easy, thanks to the positive strut and undercarriage 
attachment.  I'm doing a Roden and Bluw Max one as well, all started the 
same time and worked on equally, but the Eduard finished first because it 
was easiest.
