Hello dear forumites,

I wish to convert the Flashback 1/48th scale Siemens Schuckert DIII to a DIV. Does some aftermarket part exist to realise a DIV?

Greetings from Belgium

Daniel.

Greetings Scimitar: No one that I know of has done the conversion 'kit' to do the SSW D.IV. *After the the initial Eduard 3 issues there was another small run done for Flashback. After that as a low pressure injection mold the SSW D.III was pretty much worn out. *There were rumors that the mold was overpressurized in the last pour/run *told us that it was damaged beyond repair. *The truth has not been fully disclosed. It maybe that it was just too 'used'. *I did my conversion by cuttung down the top wing and doubling the ribs in both upper and lower sets. *The struts had to be modified of course. * *

Thanks for your answer, Stephen. I will then try to do the same you did.
My goal is to build the only one SS DIV bearing Belgian colors (I did it at 1/72 scale some times ago, but I wish redo it with more details

Cheers,
Daniel.
