This is the old Copper State Models kit, since Eric retired, new management has taken over, with improved tech, the recent kits are excellent. The Dolphin saw service in 1918, and produced 28 aces, but has never gotten much respect, of over 1,500 built, only about half were issued, and the rest scrapped soon after the war. That despite plans by the US and France to build an up engined version, had the war continued. The kit is a true multi media, resin, white metal and PE, it was a challenge to harmonize the different media, but not too hard. I still plan to do the Blue Max version, converted to the two Lewis guns mounted on the lower wings.
