Thanks, guys.

I just started reading the thread at RC scale, and so far I'm not impressed. The kit seems to have issues with parts fit and wood quality. I could tolerate that in a $150 kit, but not at the price BUSA is asking.
A fellow club member is building one and he did comment on the ribs being off. He fixed it though and did not make it out to be a big deal. The Fokker DVII has a couple of ribs the wrong size as well.
I would not let this minor issue dissuade you from building this kit. It would certainly be a ton more work to scratch one and any little minor fixes in the wood machining should be no big deal.
His comments on construction were how many ribs there were. Also there a re a lot of struts to
align.
