This is the no longer available DML kit. I built this one several years ago and it really was pretty easy to build. I picked it deliberately since it was my first WW-I fighter kit and it required minimal (almost no) rigging. It's just about box stock except for the Aeromaster decals. If you look closely, you can see that it has taken a couple hits over the years in the form of broken outer wing struts and the windshield is missing. Some day I hope to find another unbuilt kit to use the struts as masters to cast replacement ones in resin for this kit (the windshield will be pretty easy to make from a piece of thin clear acetate. The tail skid has also come off but I still have it and will reattach it when I do the major rebuild. The base is my usual wooden plaque in a red-brown Walnut picture frame. The 1914 Iron Cross and the WW-I Prussian pilot's badge are resin cast from molds made from original items in my collection. They are mounted on small squares of wood stained to match the frame.
