Ah, yes. I was waiting for one of these "you don't know what bad is
- I had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, with no
shoes" type messages. ;-)
Seriously, what I was trying to get at was that if companies are able
to make great strides with WW2 and other eras, then why not WW1?
That's all. Did I get too winded for the whole conversation? :-)
Who, me?
If you sit down and think about it, we're still in the same '70's and
'80's boat. Where else but the "old" Airfix kit will you find a
Roland C.II - injected?
