They are the only pics on the net from Telford. Eduard will have their sprue shots up soon.

The 2 sets of wings are for the 2 sets of cowling cheeks. There are square notches to fit the "square" cheeks and angled notches to fit the curved cheeks. Unfortunately, Eduard has seen fit to perpetuate the myth that E.II's had the "squared" cheek on the port side of the nose. Only the prototype E.II, w/n 257 had this, as it was armed with a Parabellum MG and had the spent-belt bin located there. All of the panels on 257 were unique in every respect.
So, to anyone building an accurate E.II: DO NOT USE THE SQUARE CHEEK ON THE PORT SIDE! Curious they would include what appears to be the E.IV cowling with the cooling holes. That being said, I will be thrilled to get my mitts on one of these!

Just noticed a couple more things. Eduard has included an 7-cylinder Oberursel U.O engine for an E.I. Very curious.
Although I can't tell if they got the overhang of the upper decking behind the cowl, the placement of the holes for ammunition and oil/gas fillers looks pretty good.
