Hmm

bit annoying they posted upside down but never mind...

the box is sturdy and surprisingly small. Sprues all in one bag, but well wrapped and unable to move in the box. PE and masks for canopy in there too. 
whole package is very reminiscent of special hobby. Good detail, no locator pins. Some sprues for detail parts are a degree more refined. Tiny amount of flash. Surface detail reminiscent of the IBG PZL- tremendous!

decals look amazing

 

the prop looks a little anorexic to me. I might swap that but we shall see.

 

impressions; 

it’s got bigger spats than Clark Gable.

It look more french than Edith Piaf.

 

a superb little offering. I will get straight on it after my new CSM Nieuport  21.

 

it will be compulsory to listen to Django Rheinhardt whilst building this one!

No worries DrDave. I found that by standing on my head, I was able to see the posts just fine! :lol:

FWIW-I initially read the topic as a misspelling of "drawings". Took me 2 re-reads to realize it was "Dora/wings" 

I think I need more coffee.....

What better relief from frontline icu than to find a brand new kit on your doormat?

Arrived  today from the Ukraine, the new D500!


Dang!  I was reaching for Google Ukrainian translator.

You can tell from the sprues that they are planning a 501 and 510. Separate nose cone, spinner and prop sprues, extra upper wing blisters and slots in the lower wing for guns.

I Agree with the Doctor.  Very nice.

 

My kits arrived in an outer shipping box that contained the kit components as Dave describes but the kit boxes were flat, not assembled.  I thought at first that only one kit was sent to me.
