Scale Aviation Modeler International 2003 02


Roden produce this kit in their usual side-opening box, featuring nice artwork of the type in action together with a potted history of the aircraft and of the pilot depicted on the artwork, in this case Austro-Hungarian ace Jozsef Kiss. On opening the box you will find all the parts and the instructions enclosed in a poly bag. The parts themselves are well moulded in a light grey plastic but a few have a fair amount of thick flash that will need to be trimmed carefully. There are some very fine detail parts in this kit, in particular the engine which is a little gem, it's just a shame that it's almost covered up completely by the time you place it in the fuselage. One of the most outstanding areas of this kit is the comprehensive decal sheet which covers no less than twelve different marking options.
