I just like the shape - have no need for a $50 Eduard version filled with resin and PE.
someone must make a simple basic no frills plane in 1/48 ?????
thx - Craig

Look at Eduards new series called 'Weekender', the kits are fantastic! An for $10.00 a bargan to boot.

Good lord Al.... lol... don't scare him off!
--Eduard has a new series of basic kits called "weekender" kits. They are the same styrene as the higher end kits, but with only one decal option, and no photoetch or resin parts. They run in the US$12 range instead of US$25 or more. Great deals!

Aurora used to have one. I'm not sure if it's related to the Glencoe kit or not. Their Pfalz was supposed to be related to the old Aurora kit.

I think the SMER D-III is still available.
Pretty much no-frills that one. Some accuracy problems but most would not be that evident to anyone but a dedicated Albatros fanatic.
Cheers,
Best answer is one of the new "weekend Special" Eduard kits, either a D.III or a D.V. Kit includes the basic plastic parts and decals for one aircraft. No photo etch, no masks, nuttin else. Price runs about $10-$12 and some of the discount houses like Roll Models may do lower yet.
No, a bar of soap is more basic than that... And a Blue Max kit lies somewhere between a Glencoe kit and a bar of soap....lol
