Speaking stricly about WWI aviation subjects , in 1/72 scale the absolute worst- Cramer Craft Vacuforms - take your pick which one. * In 1/48 scale at least the Merlin Salmson had enough plastic to work with if you cared to do the work. But the worst 1/48 *scale WWI kit of all time....The Marusan Albatros D.III. *I've seen one still in the box.

Forumites, it looks like some one opened it in 1956 shook out a baby's dirty diaper in the box and closed it.

This kit was offered to me at 65.00 USD.

*I was assured that the kit was factory mint. *I politely said that I suddenly remembered a previous appointment at the dentist for a 5 tooth root canal and left quickly. *I changed my phone number over the matter. *I still have nightmares about the incident and *am still in therapy. *My Doctor said it would be good for me to get it out in the open and discuss it.

I'm feeling much better now ;
