Has anyone build this kit and can tell me the pro's and contra's ? If I'm not mistaken this is (was) the old Aurora kit from the 70's, and is not from the original 1/28th series of kits (Spad, DrI, Camel) that Revell did in the 60's. I don't remember anything good being said about the Aurora D-VII kit, sorry. Flypaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flypaper This is not the Aurora kit at all, but of a later vintage than the other Revell 1/28 scale kits. There was an article in FineScale a few years ago that dealt with the inaccurate fuselage shape and incorrect upper wing dihedral. It involved a lot of plastic cutting, but was do-able. I may be able to find the article tonight. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is an article by Frank L Mitchell. Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
