oyoy5 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 One good point of buying from screw brothers is that a lot of the 1/32 scale kids were goofed up with the wing was broken and the replacement parts were goofed up to. Sprue brothers stood behind it and help that out a lot so I may wait LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Sure glad I had lotsa trouble buying the Merit Triplane earlier, and ended up with the SE-5a.

I have nothing but praise for the quality and support I have experienced. They recently put me in touch with Eduard QC about Ju-88 resin wheels that are too small for the late variants. Rough problem with market issues. Rick esarmstrong, LSP_K2, ivanmoe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few kits to gather this year, all of which are "grail kits" to me, for various reasons. I've added a few, but there's still more to grab, and out of financial necessity, I have to move slowly on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyoy5 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I really want to see the sprues to see if there are any issues with the sprues similar to the 1/32 kit they released. From what I hear it’s a totally different kit and not a blown up from there 1/32. Fingers crossed for sure???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'll be very curious to see where the 24th scale kit came from. After having really no experience in WWI, then to go to two WWI kits, but both of the same plane, seems unlikely to me, but I could easily be wrong.

I've just finished rigging an Encore F1, there are only four wires. And the wings are held pretty much in place by the outer struts so not much to worry about when it comes to alignment Not like balancing a top wing on a handful of toothpicks and cocktail sticks which is what many RFC 'planes are like Richard Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much had the entire thing assembled including all three wings using nothing but the snap fit of the 4 outer braces and the two inner fuselage to upper wing braces. I might pick up a Meng 24th kit, but I'll definitely be buying and building another 3nd kit. Hopefully this one is a scale up of the 3nd one, as that one fits amazingly well.
