Don't know if this has been posted already, but Valom Models have a 1/144 Fokker D.VII – 2 kits and lozenge decals included.

They also did a Sopwith Pup.

Nice, but if I calculate right, that's almost $22 USD each after shipping. Steep. |

There are a few stockists for them; bound to be one your side of the pond. |

Depends where you are,
MODELIMEX is in the Czech Republic.
Hannants in England also carries them:
link There is an SE5a, Nieuport 17 and Albatros D.V in the works. In the USA Roll Models has the Fokker listed and I assume that Squadron Shop should be able to get them. |

They have etch brass struts which makes for fiddly assembly. You could replace this with plastic rod I guess. I bought a pile of the Pup kits hoping for something designed like the old Revell 1/72 kits for relatively easy assembly but was a bit disappointed. They are ok models but I feel they are a bit more of a modellers kit than a wargamers god-send. I wasn't keen on the wings that aren't as good as those found on the better examples of the WoW/G models. I sold all the Pup kits. I think for gamers they really need to be the equivalent of the PSC tank kits. |

I agree with Timmo, I bought the Pups and found they may be a little delicate for gaming. Plus they were rather fiddley to put together. Having also bought some Shapeways stuff I'd go with them again over Valom. |

Nice lozenge decals! Man, these are a far cry in pricing from when I was young! Wow, I can get the Wings of Glory repaints for this. They seem rather basic in build or not? |

A few years ago these would have been popular , but with the likes of Shapeways ready built accurate models that work out at less than half the price why bother ? |

For wargamers I'd probably agree. But these aren't aimed at wargamers, but at scale modellers who demand a higher standard of detail. So they would bother. |

They have etch brass struts which makes for fiddly assembly. Then they are not for gaming either. |
