The kit might not be to your liking, and that is ok, there have been many other people who have bought the original kits(I have two copies) and have built the digital resto mod files. The kits you mention are both 1:33, and they are great kits, but keep in mind, and read the entire thread, the original designer, Alan Rose and Ruben, have collaborated on this kit to bring it to the paper modeling masses, as a thank you for the support we as modelers have shown Alan over the past 30-35 years, and reverence we have for his models.

* The kit is not 1/3. It is cut at almost exactly the half. Red: where the Alan Rose kit is cut. Green: where the exact half of the plane is. * Several serious modellers and collectors, who have actually built and shown their skills here in the past with some memorable builds, have built this Alan Rose kit. Maybe you find this Alan Rose substandard to even bother downloading it, much less building it. As you surely must have found many kits not worth enough of building, since you have not shared even one of your (I believe) wonderful models with your great "serious modeler" skills. * The Geli kit was nice when released... back in a time when the only other alternative of a DC-3 / Li-2 was the not so good Maly Modelarz kit. But the Geli is very far from being a good representation of a DC-3. And it is more "toy-like" than other modern kits. Actually, some of the Geli kits (not all, but certainly their DC-3) are to paper what Aurora kits were to plastic: simple curbside representations of the real subject, usually with significant mistakes, and more oriented to people who could not afford more expensive brands, or to kids who could not build more difficult kits. Some other Gelis are much better representing their subject. The recent SR-71 is awesome, a must buy for a real modeller. But certainly the Geli DC-3 can not be compared on equal terms with the FlyModel. They are beasts of a different kind and separated for several decades. I only agree with you on the FlyModel. That is really a very good kit at 1/33 with a very good development of parts and very accurate proportions. More accurate than the Geli. But that's a late C-47, not a DC-3. Still, the FlyModel has some small mistakes only hardcore DC-3 fans would notice. But sure, this is a free world (so far), and everyone is entitled to their opinion. And each is equally acceptable. Some people may think waterline kits of ships are an abomination and ships should be built full hull. But it so happens that some people also like to build waterline and are perfectly happy with that. But those are just opinions. And should be respected equally. You have your thoughts, I have mine. You have your kits, and I have mine. And we're all happy. But surely when you write so much incorrect facts it is necessary to correct them. Specially when I know the facts firsthand. Kind regards,
