its ok,great deal for $6 i paid $15 i think. its a resin version of the eduard kit for all practical purposes except no photo etch or decals.oddly the wings have engraved rib tapes.theres no interior to speak of except a seat floor and a plain rod for a stick. worth getting if you have spare decals left over from the eduard kit and dont mind addressing the lack of interior ,pinning the lower wings and such. my plan id to use the eduard photoetch on another kit i have as a template for interior and rob some spare hatch covers from leftover eduard ones from the d.iii/d.v albatros fret.with a bit of work should make a decent model. i may chop off the nose and turn it into a series 65 as it is a series 28 like the eduard kit. i would definately buy another if i bumped into a cheap one.

Well Scott, I was hoping it would be an improvement on the early rather rough casting of the plastic of the Eduard kit.  :(

The ebay listing started at $40, then dropped to $30, then $15, $10 and finally $6 at which time I figured what the hell! I'm kinda a sucker for the AH aircraft anyway.  ;)

Thanks for the info!

Chuck
