The above link will take you to RB Productions new radiator screens to suit all the WnW Fokker D.VII kits.

An interesting idea but I wonder how necessary a replacement radiator screen really is? A honeycomb pattern rather than the "incorrect" pattern on the WNW parts? Errr... I don't really see a lot of difference even though the enhancement set's price of 6 Euro/ about $7.50 is reasonable, and this manufacturer has a high reputation.
A number of aftermarket manufacturers are looking for ways to target WNW modellers but in general, just one person's view, the Wingnut kits are pretty good out of the box.
That said I'd applaud any aftermarket decal manufacturer giving us bolts of four and five colour lozenge that reflect reality rather than the pre-shaped blobs of dubious lozenge we get in the WNW kits. WNW seem to have their own 'take' on lozenge colours which is at odds with everyone else.

Des,
Thanks for sharing these my old friend. Very nice stuff indeed.
Highest Regards,

I saw these the other day. Good stuff although I think I'd rather like to have a really nice cast resin replacement for the radiator and shell.

I like them. It is a clearly visible upgrade that's not too expensive. I do agree with the Red Baron. The costs of these little things do start to add up. Since I usually build armor kits and by the time I finish collecting all the bits $200 comes and goes pretty fast.
-
As always, thanks for the efforts put forth for those of us who go over the top to details already excellent kits. Definitely on the wish list. Just have to save a few more nickles (that a kind of U.S. currency) :D Looking foward to more fun to come!

I'm a great fan of this Gent's products, and since I have now got all 3 of the WNW DVII's stashed, I'll be ordering this product as well. Looks like a sweet deal to me..........
Cheers,

I couldn´t put it better!
One of the reasons why I love WnW models it´s their "all-in-one-box" policy... Excellent plastic parts, minimal (but essential!) PEs and 1st-rate instructions (which also double as reference), and all for a reasonable price. Some may ask if there isn´t room to improve... sure there is as no model is 100% accurate (will there ever be one?), but IMO most of these extras that keep showing up, are not mandatory... and yes, I will not care much for their "Special edition" sets, with tons of PE and extra parts, when they´ll release them.
