Eduard is re-releasing the Pfalz D.IIIa as a weekend kit. Has a couple of color schemes that may not have been offered before in prior releases.

I had two of them arrive yesterday, nice color schemes.

Ken, does the kit contain both the the lower wing shape in the early (pointed ends) and the later (rounded ends)? The reason I ask is that I looked on Eduard's website at the instructions and it shows cutting off the pointed tips of the wings and rounding them to simulate the later rounded tip wings yet when the pics of the sprues with the parts layout shows that both wings are in the kit.
If the kit does have both lower wing styles, why wouldn't they just have you use the rounded lower wing instead? Seems strange to me. ???

Yes, two lower wings in there.

Had I not clicked onto this page having returned from my local late last night I would now not be the proud owner of one of these kits acquired off eBay for the princely sum of £15.50. ;D

Just got it and there’s a rather bright scheme that I’ll go for. Just a tad confused over the instructions about which bottom wing to use.

The Ewers plane is one of the options in the WnW kit. It shows the rounded lower wing tips and a white rudder.

Yea, I agree Toby. I raised the same question in Reply#2 above. ???
Seems odd to me that Eduard indicates rounding off the pointed early production style lower wing when they also includes the later style wing the rounded wingtips already.
Here's a link to the kit's instructions:https://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/8417.pdf
Notice that on the parts sprue layout of the instructions it only shows the early wing as being included in the kit. But as Jeff and other pics of the actual kit on the Net have confirmed, Eduard has included both style wings with the kit.
My guess is that the guys in the "Drawing the Instructions" dept. didn't communicate with the guys in the "Molding the plastic" dept. ;D
Either way, I have one ordered and will be here soon enough. I plan on doing the scheme on the boxtop as having the WW2 style Balkenkreuz markings I find different and therefore appealing.

Thanks Chuck.

The black scheme I don't think I've seen before
