who puts them out? they look like cheaper editions of kits, sorta like hobbyboss, maybe?they have a pfalz d.IIIa that could be interesting.


The Encore products I've seen are not original kits. They are repops of other manufacturers' products. They are distributed by MMD (aka Squadron Mail Order), but no idea whose molding machines are used. Quality varies according to the quality of the original molds. Some of the aircraft are old Heller items. Other products are from defunct Eastern European makers.

Could be the Toko/Roden kit if 1/72. If it's larger I don't know.

It IS the Roden kit. The decals are for a D.IIIa, but you could actually build it as a D.III if you want. All of the parts are there for either version, just as they are for the Roden kit of the Pfalz D.III. Later, Dave Shreeve

Just scanned the instruction sheets today. LMK if you wanna peek.

ISTR their Flankers are from the Nakotone(?) molds.
