Post by: radio on January 02, 2016, 07:21:18 AM: I think that the Copper State engine can be use.
She is difficult to use in the Revell Fokker. Must many sand the hud but I don`t know if it will get in it at least.

Yes, that is correct. So the kit engine will work for Jacobs Aircraft. As stated in the thread that I linked there are other issues but one can certainly use Modeling skills to correct them.

Post by: ermeio on January 03, 2016, 04:55:44 AM: a week ago I had a look into the box of both this Dr.1 and of the SE 5:
these kits did not impress me and I did not buy them even if they were reasonably priced (comparing the price with the prices on ebay)
They remembre me the old Aurora 1/18 scale models and probably are rough even if compared with the Revell 1/28 scale models.
They are something like the old Merit / Artiplast 1/50 models on steroids :-)

Post by: dr 1 ace on April 04, 2016, 07:58:23 AM: The latest issue of Windsock (v.32,n1) has a review of both the Dr-I and Se5, sadly both miss the mark for the really serious. Guess their appeal will be size , as for price- $71 USD compared to $79-89 USD for a WNW kit... but then WNW are not available in shops...
