Hi Terri,
the 1/144 SSW D.III will most probably be on my bench in January, I have to finish the Nieuport first and for December I joined a pretty crazy event called New Year's deathmatch - along with 17 other WWI fans from the Czech republic we will be building the new Eduard kit (that means 17 people building 17 SSW D.III, not 17 people building one kit
). Kick-off is on 1st December and deadline for finishing is 31st Dec midnight. I guess this will be a good preparation for the scratch project.
Once again many thanks for the instructions scan, it helped me clarify many points which had been unclear before.
Cheers
Ondra
