Default !/4 scale WWI kits?

Having had a chance to see some large WWI models at a scale meet in Holland last week, my interest is piqued. I've got my plate full for the moment, but I imagine that eventually I'll do a 1/4 scale model.

So...what are the choices currently out there? From Mick Reeves, there's a 1/4 scale Camel, Pup, and Strutter (though the "new" Strutter is apparently 1/3.6 scale).

And GTM offers, or rather offered, a DrI, D6, D8, and Hanriot HD-1. According to Glenn's website the 1/4 scale DrI and D6 are currently unavailable as they are being revised. Does anyone know what sort of revisions are being made and/or when the new kits might be available? I'd sure like to see a 1/4 DrI done essentially the same way as the larger 1/3 scale kit!

Then there's Proctor with their 1/4 scale Albatros DV and the DVII. Are all the museum scale models 1/4 scale? Looks like the Jenny might be 1/6 scale.

And of course there's the extensive BUSA offerings, which while not so scale are an exceptional price:

Any other 1/4 scale WWI kits out there? Or any great 1/4 plans available? Don't bother mentioning AZM.
