For 1/350 it pretty much has to be FUD. Neither WSF nor any of the others will have the detail needed.
They come in one piece generally, though sometimes with separate propellers. For 1/350 you'll get several small aircraft on a sprue, or one large one.
Example:
In this case, FUD is the only option offered. http://www.shapeways.com/model/63186...f-f-e-2-b.html
thanx also i was looking at this model and the sizes are wrong, they are too big more like 1/200 would u know of this?
FE2b wingspan is 14.55 m (Compared with a Snipe's 9.48 m, a D.VII's 8.9m, and a DR.I's 7.2 m)
So 1/350 is 4.16cm.
Double this, and add 5mm (not much) for the sprue, you get 8.8cm
Model is 8.84cm width. Sounds right. The FE2b is much larger than single seaters. Most 2-seaters too.
Marvellous clip that Zoe, thanks.
