NEW! FUSELAGE AND WING SETS DESIGNED FOR THE EDUARD DVII!
Each specifically altered to fit the Eduard kits, with upper and lower "lozenge" colours in their distinctive "Fokker-built", "Albatros-built" and "OAW-built" configurations.
Essentially, both 1/48 and 1/72 Eduard DVII's have under-sized ailerons and over-stated rib detail - in places where it wasn't present (!) - along with slight discrepancies in fuselage width and depth.
This means that we could not merely scale down our artworks from our WNW 1/32-fitting versions and so these sets have had to be re-designed.
Through financial necessity Eduard did not trouble themselves with all the various idiosyncracies of each manufacturer's airframes and much of the kit is generic, with a pretty poor representation of the Mercedes engines, for which I suggest you source the exquisite "Small Stuff" versions and make the necessary fit adjustments (consider removing top engine cowlings - as was commonly done in the Summer of 1918 - to show it off :

If you are interested in further refining the otherwise excellent 1/48 and 1/72 kits I strongly recommend you visit the still-online Wingnut Wings website (www.wingnutwings.com) and compare the down-loadable instruction pamphlets - themselves an essential addition to any serious modeller's references. Plus there are, of course, the trio of Albatros Production booklets on the DVII - but you've got these, haven't you?...
For these new decals to fit you are obliged to make the following, suggested, simple "improvements" to the Eduard kit parts :
