I've got it, Scott, and it's an excellent kit and a very cool boxing.  The flask is very high quality and a fun addition to my collection.  I had also purchased the Viper kit when it was first released and an "over tree", so now I've got 4 Eduard SE5a kits and I'll build them all.  So many variations and I've got the Pheon decal sheet.  Might even do a quintuple build with the WNW Hisso.  That'll be after I finish the FK8 and one of the Caudrons, of course.
Cheers,
Bud

I love that flask! It looks like a great package.

Now that sounds impressive, Bud. I sort of had fun with the Eduard Hisso but really must get my hands on the Eduard Royal edition, if only to match their D.VII equivalent.

Best wishes
Nigel

I thought Eduard only released the viper engines kit as the standalone profipak?

Check out the sprues, Scott.  Both kits have exactly the same plastic.  The only difference is the decals.
