What is your definition of “reasonably priced”?

And which engine?

I don't know why but I think they were being facetious. The WNW kit was only ever released as a Hisso. I wish I could help but I don't have one

Actually, I wasn't. I knew the Roden kit came with either engine, I'm not familiar with the WNW kit

... and I was just intending a wee joke. Sorry if I've caused offence.

I've still got a WNW SE in the stash but it's earmarked for building, I'm afraid. If I were selling I'd probably get 200GBP on Ebay, but it's not for sale. However the excellent Roden SE is available at a fraction this price. I posted recently that I'd bought a Viper engined one (Roden 607) from AmazonUK for 32GBP, although they've all sold out now. Look around and I'm sure you'll get one for a good price - and it is an excellent kit that will build into a terrific model.

Richard and Sandy, My apologies to both of you! The WNW kit has two things in it's favor vs the Roden kit.
1. The pulley inspection panels
2. The Positive strut locations

That being said I agree that the Roden kit, and by extension, the Encore version builds up very nicely! As a matter of fact I prefer the way Roden did the cockpit assembly as it makes rigging the control wires easier

JMHO,
RAGIII

No offense was taken on this end. 25 years in the US Army kinda toughens one up!! hahaha
