Cavils:There's a few spare, blued-out parts--will there be a second boxing for another version?Only five markings--the SARD night markings take up space on the sheet that might otherwise be used by at least 2 other individual markings. A 19 Sqn option would have given full Western front representation.(I pulled the trigger anyway)

I would venture to say there will not be another boxing of this without a completely modified sprue or it would have to be a post war like the D9 and BrisFit.

The base price is $79 USD, with multiple decal sheets driving the price up. Note the Fokker E types are not as highly priced; less decals. The Roland CII is not a single seater.

Obviously it's a single seater, less plastic sprues, that quote is out of place, no everybody might even afford paying that!!
