Up here it was a lot less expensive, and I have always liked the Pfalz.

If you dont mind me asking what did you do about the undersides bottoms of
the wings.
Did you just round the edges or did you make new undersides from plastic
card.

Thanks for the advice. I dont have very much data on the Sopwith Camel
so I didnt know why Blue Rider were suggesting the Airfix Camel, now it
makes a bit more sense.

The Salamander's mine !!
Also the guy at the store gets Datafiles and will phone me whenever new ones
come in. I dont have to buy but I'll get first crack. (After looking
through the Mini Datafiles I'm not sure I always want to either, I'm sure these
would have been better combined for say half the price. The printing and
distribution cost's would have been about the same as one datafile. They really
need to put a few more pages in these. The Lewis gun is only 8 pages.)
Thanks for the advice.
