.
Available: Now (March 2009)
Price: @ 28 Euro
.
A new kit from Miniwings is available and most welcome it is too!
Think the Do18 is such a clean and elegant, but strangely robust looking design?
.
This is brings Miniwings back on track and the quality of the finish and the nice clear crisp lines is great.The panel lines meet a happy compromise of being evident yet not canyons!
Even the exhausts from the engine are nicely picked out.

All items look crisp as stated and no warping of skewed fits seem evident at this stage.

37 parts, a third of these comprise the interior (seating and controls), props and supports etc

I received mine this week too. I agree a very nice kit and superb molding. The only critisism is that the gates for the resin to flow through are very thick. One of them had broken off on mine where it meets the very front of the fuselage and had taken a 1/2cm section of the fuselage with it as the sides of the plane are quite thin in comparison to the gate. Some carefull cutting and I should be able to remove the broken off piece from the gate and reattach to the fuselage.
