Worstness lays in the eyes of the beholder....
I can't go with you, comrades, concerning the Aurora kits or Glencoe's copies. They are bad from our view of today, but when the Pfalz came out it was a near perfect match to the drawings and other sources available in the late 50ies. They all could be built easily, only those engraved decal positions were a nuisance.
I can speak only for injection moulded kits. I do only have two or three resins and I sold nearly all my vac formed kits. And I would not consider any short run kits to say ' IIIIiiiiiiihhhhh...'.
as they follow their own rules.( If I would include short run kits also, does anyone remember Veeday...?),
I do have a near complete collection of all WWI injection moulded kits, missing only the newest additions from those russian and ukrainian firms.
To make a long story short, here are my favourites:
1. GLENCOE Albatros Series ( D.III and AH series). 1/48
2. ICM Pfalz E. IV ( in fact a Fokker E.IV) 1/72
3. ICM Illiya Mourometz 1/72
4. TOGA Morane Saulnier I
5. SMER S.V.A 5 1/50
Happy modelling
