Title: WNW Kits
Post by: nmroberto on September 23, 2014, 06:20:42 AM

Just wanted some opinions on which is the best engineered/best fitting of the WNW kits.

Of the ones I have built so far, I would say the Sopwith Triplane.  Goes together like lego and some of the cockpit fittings aren't even glued in.

IMHO of the ones I have built in order of best to most difficult: Sopwith Snipe is the best engineered and fitting kit of all. Next the Sopwith Triplane, Then the DVII, followed by the Albatros DV and DVa. Again JMHO.

The last three I built were so good that they just fell together, they are the Snipe, the Hannover and DFW, but most of the other have also been very easy to build with only one or two giving a few issues, bear in mind that the earlier kits were engineered with extremely tight tolerances so this made assembly somewhat difficult.

I thought the Gotha and DH.9a were exceptionally well engineered. Had some problems (likely due to user error) on the Re.8.
