I've got it, Scott, and it's an excellent kit and a very cool boxing.  The flask is very high quality and a fun addition to my collection.  I had also purchased the Viper kit when it was first released and an "over tree", so now I've got 4 Eduard SE5a kits and I'll build them all.  So many variations and I've got the Pheon decal sheet.  Might even do a quintuple build with the WNW Hisso.  That'll be after I finish the FK8 and one of the Caudrons, of course.
Cheers,
Bud

Now that sounds impressive, Bud. I sort of had fun with the Eduard Hisso but really must get my hands on the Eduard Royal edition, if only to match their D.VII equivalent.

Best wishes
Nigel

I thought Eduard only released the viper engines kit as the standalone profipak?

Check out the sprues, Scott.  Both kits have exactly the same plastic.  The only difference is the decals.
Cheers,
Bud
