[QUOTE=tonyc206;47406]So, in the same way as I did with the AEG G.IV's. I bought 3 Bristol Fighters to compare the different kit makers.

First up is the Skytrex kit

Reasonably clean moldings and not too much flash. The strut holes go all the way through the wings which are both indentical. The fuselage has 4 lugs on the unerside to attach the lower wing with the correct spacing. Detail is quite good

Next the SRAM kit

For some strange reason I felt the compulsion to glue the tail on almost as soon as I got it out of the box. The usual SRAM clean moldings with a little flash that hold the parts together. The detail is very fine and the wings are clearly a top and a bottom with a molded diheadral.

This kit has separate tail and elevators and no crew. A nice little pilots seat, separate radiator. No lugs on the fuselage and no way to space the lower wing. Lots of struts missing, but that may have been our new kittens fault.

Now for the Reviresco kit:

Once again this was rather a disappointment when I got it out of the box. As you can see the elevators were all bent as were the lugs under the fuselage. The wings are featureless apart from a very crude attempt at ailerons and bad molding. The fuselage on this kit is much narrower than the other two.

A deffinate lack of small parts and generally very disappointing.

As with the AEG I will not be building the SRAM or Reviresco kits. So if you want them please PM me.[/QUOTE]
