  Rick,
How do the two kits compare? I had a passing thought of getting a hold of the Sanger D.Va or the SE-5a. But if the Marco is a better kit I'll keep searching.

The Marco DV is a true multi media kit. Vac plastic major components, resin, and PE details. IIRC there may be some white metal also. I would be guessing but I tend to think the Marco kit would be the way to go. It at least has some interior formers and a full engine.

Rick, 

You are a brave man indeed to take these on considering WNW exists.  Even I have succumbed.

Gregory,
I am afraid the answer is not yet. still tying up some loose ends on other projects:-) With the imminent arrival of the Marcos DVII and Nieuport 28,(Finally traded with my friend Ira), I may opt for a different first Vac kit in 40 years :-). That being said I will do this one. I intend to start with the wings......

   Rick,
No worries my old friend just curious about the BIG Albie.Great score on your Marco's Nieuport 28 and the Fokker too. I love the  Nieuport 28 kit.As best I can remember the Fokker is also a really nice kit too.I think there's a slight problem with the fuselage shape though if I' remember correctly. Being a vacuform kit the fuselage corners won't at 90 degrees,as I said it's only a slight problem which is easily fixed by a little reskinning. I'll be looking forward to following which every project come first. Best of luck and Happy Hunting my old friend.
