wonderful selection of kits we have right now. OK, maybe the definative
1/72 Alb. D.III isn't out there yet, but be patient, I'm sure someone's
working on it."

I agree, though Hasegawa (for example) came out with the Polikarpov
I-16, and will come out with the Dewotaine(SP?) D.520 (both in 1/72)
- and I don't believe these two subjects have a much bigger following
than an Albatros D.III would in the same scale(?). Also witness
Dragon/DML's ventures into 1/48 WW I stuff! *I* think they're coming,
It will just take them longer to get here. (maybe after the *28th*
kit of a P-51 Mustang is released!) ;-)

Something to think about!
