pretty work!

i've got the Encore Voss boxing, i've no plans to trade it in for a WNW one. shapes are good and details are subtle, and the resin's nice. as i want more dreideckers i'll probably prefer the WNW if they're up to the usual standard, but they're not likely to be enough better to make me want to dump what i've got.

the Academy Nieuports, on the other hand, became paint mules when CSM dropped some N.17s.

Hi Dave,
Congratulations on a great build.

I've built the Roden kit but modified for a Jasta 2.
As Jeff K said, the WNW kit will obviously be good, but like him, I still think the Roden kit is a worthy contender, especially pricewise,

Another great tripe - and I think it’s neat seeing more roden kits done. They come out very nicely e en if they take a little more effort .  Cheers Matt

Now that 'Aviattic' have released streaked decals, the Roden kit is more likely to be built if WNW is not the preffered kit,

That's come out really nicely Dave

The only obvious bit I can't understand about the Roden kit it the depressed rectangular bit in the centre of the tailplane. I can't find anything that suggests it is correct. It's dead easy to fix though

I enjoyed building mine some time ago
