Title: Eduard Junkers J.1
Post by: rolanddvi on April 16, 2015, 11:37:05 AM: Read in the Eduard newsletter that they are re-releasing the 1/72 Junkers J.1 in May. Been along time since this kit has been available.

you are right, I will be preparing a review of this re-release, hope to get the sample soon. In case of any interesting findings, I will post theme here.

Btw. A re-release of 1/48 Fokker E.III is scheduled for June. ;)

Cheers

Post by: WarrenD on May 05, 2015, 09:31:06 AM: It is, but the e-mail I got on the May releases said to wait about ordering as they were going to have a big sale. Just sayin'. ;)

In any event, some very interesting schemes, I 'll definitely pick this one up to: 1) support Eduard for choosing to re-release a 1/72nd scale kit, maybe they'll make more, and 2) add another one to the stash because of the schemes.

What do y'all make of the color of the first two schemes?

Post by: WarrenD on May 05, 2015, 10:23:19 AM: I agree Des, but I can't recall ever seeing that "tan" color in any Junkers profiles, etc. I'd almost describe it as a "desert" scheme, no?

As far as I can remember the tan colour was used on the very first machines produced.

I ordered it from Sprue Brothers instead, it's $19.99 and shipping under $9 instead of Eduard's $19 shipping.
