2 new Encore models...

[Flyjunkie]

I just received 2 Encore Models in the Mail today..:
Albatros D.V and Pfalz D.III "Blue Max"

Both are Encore's "Econo Kits" and in 1/72 scale..

They look good, the detail on the engines is well done me thinks...
I am looking forward to building them sometime in the Future..

Anybody here built either kit and might have some pointers or opinions about the kits??? I'd welcome any and all feedback...

I love the Encore 1/32 kits - good basic Roden kit with really excellent set of colour PE, well researched instruction booklet & painting guide and really good decals. Also comes with lovely resin replacement parts, but also with the original plastic parts if you'd prefer those.

I find them incredibly good value. Certainly not as easy to build as WNW, but the PE & resin parts more than offsets that disadvantage in my opinion.

Builds a superb model straight out of the box, saving a small fortune in AM stuff.

I really can't recommend them enough, especially as you can find a 1/32 Encore kit for around £30 or less if you are patient.
