David,
what do you want to compare?

Hi Edgar,
I think he means there will be no comparison between the two.
CSM will be better  ;)

Well, sure, I got his point, but still asked if he want to compare those and if yes, what parts they want to check?
I do not mind, really

Thank you Edgar and Mike. I think my post was not very clear, because some strange punctuation seemed to get inserted.

Have you both seen a copy of the katmodel kit?

I have not started construction yet, but it looks quite a difficult job to remove the printed parts from the supports. Then you have to build the fuselage by attaching various panels to a core framework. Finally the star struts themselves don?t look strong enough to support the wings.

I suppose I?m saying that I hope the engineering of your kit Edgar will make for a more straightforward build.

Of course to a man of your calibre Mike, there is probably no problem that cannot be solved!

Best wishes to you both,

David

Hi Edgar, not sure if you are still planning to release this kit in 2025 (now that Lukgraph has announced their version).  Not knocking Lukgraph, but would prefer a plasttic version from CSM.  Regards, Juan

Looking forward to the CSM release, too.

Some fresh news from copper state facebook https://www.facebook.com/copperstatemodels

 "And from our 1/32 aircraft department:
Work is well underway on the long-awaited Hansa-Brandenburg D.I. Thanks to Chloe Plattner and her access to authentic factory drawings, we?re creating the most accurate model of this aircraft possible. It?s been five years since we first announced it, but now we feel the time is right ? and at the Lingen show, we?ll be choosing the markings together with Chloe. Even better ? Chloe is also working on a comprehensive book covering the service history of this fascinating machine!
Thanks for all your support ? more updates coming soon!"

You wont find a better specialist on A-H aircraft than her. Great News, I am also as much looking forward to read her book as I am to build the kit.
