No luck on ebay, the major US retailers, Hobby Terra, or Hannants. I haven't tried Jadar or Modelimex. When I wasn't looking for one they were everywhere. I may try to convert a Gavia Pfalz E.I.

its actually quite a crude kit.soft detail and lots of flash and such. from what i read the pfalz e.1 was based on a morane h. i have looked at photos and the only diff i can see is the cowl fairing is shaped diff, a detail which the maquette actually captures. also the seat is different it looks as though it was designed to take one or two people.the pfalz is definately a one seater. the engine is undersized and shaped wrong and there is basically no interior detail. the gavia is quite nice but that ones hard to find too.

a quick search and i found one for like $13 to 14 u.s.

Rob,
You actually have 2  ;D I am glad I was able to fill the void! The Original kit was actually a Non Descript Mail Order company. My friend Ira Campbell Ordered one for him and myself circa 1993. It arrived in a plain cardboard box with no Brand name. it was later that it was released in the more well known maquettes Packaging. You are receiving both, the only thing no box for the Maquettes kit  8)
