Hi Tom:
I would not classify the Datafile drawings of the Halb.Cl.II, as accurate. On a scale of 1 to 10 , they are a 5 at best. I refer to those drawings as quick and dirty. I have that kit and I would say Poitr Mrozowski did a damned good job on outline and details. Further, if this was in 1/32 scale, it would be on a par with Wingnut Wings. The instructions are excellent. It is the best 1/48 scale kit I have seen! Finally, someone got the lower wing rightThe trailing edge is curved, not straight, curved! All the mouldings are clean a crisp, just like Wingnut Wings.
From his photos and the interior detailing, I could do a a very accurate structural drawing. Compare his details to my drawings in SCHLACHTFLIEGER! what the hell, I can't knock the Poitr, He has used SCHLACHTFLIEGER! as a reference.
Blue skies Tom,
