It's the Eduard kits, but with mostly (3/4's) non-standard markings.

Agree, sky full of planes.

Interesting that Eduard have given the SE5 to Revell considering how new it is. I wonder why that was? Annoyingly I just spent quite a bit more than the RRP on these for an Eduard Camel on ebay. Ah well, c'est la vie! Hopefully lots will get built!
-
Correct me if I am wrong but the Revell editions of Eduard kits do not contain photoetch parts.
-
scale? 1/48 (ugh) or 1/72 (yay)?
-
They are 1/48th weekend boxings in Revell boxes.

Supposedly they do have different markings
-
but they are highly unlikely to stop being 1/48...

Are you sure they are Eduard moulds?
Jadlam have pics of the assembled kits and I'd bet a new WNW Halberstadt that they are the old Aurora/ Monogram models (the moulds for which are of course owned by Revell.

The scalemates site lists them as Eduard

Just checked Amazon who have pictures of sprues - certainly look like Eduard layouts.
Think I was wrong about Aurora antecedents - it's just the pics of the Camel struts looked awfully chunky to be y2k mouldings!
Amazon UK have 25% off by the way.

scalemates is great, but basically it's a wiki. even reprobates like me have edited stuff...
-
The finished articles on the Revell site don’t look like 50 year old models ;) so this time I believe scalemates

Military modeling has a review on SE5a it includes images of the sprues. Definitely the Eduard model reboxed
