Sukhoi,

 

Anything is possible. This one will be a lot of work.

 

Just as the model was being released, we at Fotocut got a shot of it and sent it our "techie" and he said it was so inaccurate that it wouldn't be worth doing a detail set.

 

Wrong geometry and more, I forget what-all(this was a few years ago, mind).

 

It is a very nice kit, with its removable engine cover panel and all... a pity.

 

I would suggest you join the wwi group(I get their digests) and ask around.

 

 

Their info:

 

Send WWI mailing list submissions to wwi@wwi-models.org

 

To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.wwi-models.org/mailman/listinfo/wwi

or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wwi-request@wwi-models.org

 

That group is friendly and knowledgeable. Although they mostly do smaller scales, there are a few 1/32 and larger afficianados there.

 

Happy Modeling!

Glad I could help.

In it I don't think he mentions fixing the prop which is oversize as well.

Have a look at the CopperState Models site.

You can get a really nice wooden prop as well as some detail sets and decals.

 

Ol' Etcher Fred does some nice spandau jackets also, used them on my Roden triplane.

 

Cheers

Sukhoi, Copper state is the place to go, as they have the PE, wooden props, and good lozenge decals. I built one w/o all the corrections, but have a couple more. Your kit has the individual guages on the decal sheet. This is mine, not perfect, but lookin DVII- ish.

Hi Sukhoi,

There was a reasonable correction article in FSM some time back that should help you out.

Following are the scans I have made of it some time ago

Greetings,

The measurements aren't readable. Could someone please

include the measurements per photograph? I'm not about to pay

$16.00 for this issue on *bay. 

Thanks for your help,

Kelsey

Well, you've dug up a 16-year-old thread that has scans of a 25-year-old magazine article that are a bit pixelated and probably couldn't be read very well 16 years ago. I can't read the dimensions either. You could be patient and perhaps someone here has that magazine and might help you out. I don't have any of the old FSMs, I may have had it but all of that was disposed of at least 10 years ago. You could also be patient and see if someone offers that magazine at a lower price too. Sorry.

 

I find it interesting that the article appears to have been written by a gentleman who passed mid-October.
