They didn't say much at the IPMS Nationals, but there was a 1/48 Scratch built Halberstadt D-II that took a 1st, and Eduard long ago had art work for the same thing ????

Hm, I'd prefer a Halberstadt D II in 1/32 scale. I think the Blue Max kit is quite fine...

It was rumored years ago that Eduard was going to release a halberstadt d.v which looks similar to a d.ii with a diff engine and 2 spandaus .

Yes, now I remember that.
The upper wing cutout is round on the D V, otherwise it's the same airframe like the D II. The Spandaus on the D V were both on one side, I think, as the "upweaponed" D II of Jasta 4 were.
Luckily the Se5a seem to be more than rumours

Well, WNW has both the Mercedes D.II engine and the Argus III.  The difference between the Halberstadt DII and DIII is the motor.  (possible error, not sure if Halberstadt DIII had an earlier Argus motor in it....) 

On that line of thought, a Maybach engine would make for an easy transition of the Rumpler C.IV to a Rub
ild C.VII......

What I was getting at was that the Halberstadt DII and DIII could be spawned from the same kit with different engine sprues.  Nothing more, cept a Maybach engine would give us one more Rumpler variation....

its cool captain slower, i was reading the other posts and then there was talk of wnw engine sprues which wouldnt fit the 1/48 halberstadt the the maybach (from wnw gotha)and rubild conversion of the wnw rumpler. i meant no harm though i just thought it was funny.

Hi everybody,

as promised, here the up-date on Eduard's S.E.5a. Today I talked to one Eduard guy at a local contest, who told me that there would be two versions (Viper and Hisso), whereas the Viper version would be released in January 2017. There was even a slideshow with 3D renders and the preview looked pretty good (even so good that I got tempted to break my own rules and to build something else than a 1/144 scratch...).

Cheers
