I have just got the kit. Malaula, you must have had a copy from old moulds. I have heard they were renewed. The new model is top class resin kit, immaculate surfaces, fine rib and linen structure, no visible air bubbles, finely detailed engine, not bad cockpit interior for this scale (two seats, steering column, floor with integrated rudder pedals and fuel tank, gun ring for the observer and the Parabellum, the interior structure is moulded on the fuselage sides). You also get two types of tailplane and fin, two propellers (with spinner and without) and two sets of decals - Swedish and Polish ones. There is some flash around but it is easily removable thin resin film - usual business.
I have talked to the producer, he informed me that the model was made basing on Swedish scale drawings. The instruction leaflet includes a copy of them - needless to say the model fits them nicely, with the exception of the floats side profile and the wing cut-outs at the fuselage. The flats will need to be reshaped and the cut-outs - enlarged.
My "first-view" opinion is that I have spent well my money. I hope to show you the build log as soon as I get the WNW Tripehound completed.
