Wasn't there kit a few years back, I think of a WWI biplane, in which all the parts, including structre, ect. were made with photoetch parts. I recall seeing a build review online, but I can't find it now. Any ideas?

There are a couple of others such as the Blue Rider Bleriot XI and Pavla Bell
47 that contain major parts such as the fuselage in etched metal.Tom
I had a 1:48 scale Spitfire years ago that was 70% photoetch and the rest (wings, part of the fuselage and tail) was prepainted. I gave it to a family member (since divorced) in return for a bunch of Bandai sci-fi kits (still happy with the trade). Anyone familiar with that kit? It had the most detailed engine that I've ever seen outside of an AMT car kit.

I forget the name but it was an Italian Company. They did a series of Spitfire kits, mainly the later models (MK.19, 24, etc.) and they were expensive as hell.
