Most detailed 1/48th scale Albatros D.III kit?

Is Eduard kits concidered the most detailed or is there a company that makes a better kit?

Thanks

Eduard is head and shoulders over anything else that is out there.

I have several Eduard kits on my site. But They are the older collectable versions... The Limited Edition is still available or at least it was through Rosemaont or Squadron...Maybe Roll Models as well.

Westerman, you should also have to consider ordering in Czechia or Poland:

Hobbyshop in Czechia http://www.hobbyshop.cz
Jadar in Poland http://jadar.com.pl

Their prices are really interresting...

Eduard also has an additional photo etched set outside of the profi, that expands even farther with detailing.

I think I saw it on their site just a while ago.
