It's been available in Canada since the new tooling, very common sight on the store shelves.

Surely the fact that the Revell one is around half the price of the Roden and Eduard ones is a factor in its favour??!

No, I did not opt for the Revell because it's price. Compared to the standard Eduard (sans PE) it is cheaper, but the better kit (in my view): It has the better wings. And the detailing is absolutely at par with Eduard (in my view).

What are the advantages of Eduard? I am really interested, this not an rhetoric question...

If the mods do want so, the poll can already be closed.

Because your voting I bought a Revell (new) and a Eduard (bag, without PE) Fokker DR.I. And I was astonished. Both could be build as

MvR's last plane. But there are different styles of markings. So some research have to be done.

As you like it - and it will not spam this board, I will show some pictures to compare the kits and their content.
