I thought the ailerons were also a little different between the first three aircraft and those that followed - ?

 Early aileron counter balance was a bit longer on the F1 and on the DR 1 the shape of the inner trailing edge was changed to give a slightly larger area.

Yep, there's a widely reproduced image of a Triplane that had both one early and one late aileron.

The O/100 flown In the Near/Middle East would be interesting...

Oh darn. Just when I told myself "no more WNW kits"...

Bet the wing span on both early and late kits are the same though, I mean why would they do that.

I bet you they will!

I really like the full top and full bottom approach to the Lancaster fuselage. With just the actual sidewall missing. I could build my Lanc like that and be happy. As for the Dr. 1, I always said they would, now I just have to wait a little longer.
