I would go the $10-15 for all color. I do think some color is
necessary, especially for the built-up kits. Of course line drawings,
and most reference photos will be ok b&w.

Why not get a web page sponsor(s)? You see it all the time. We could
try and get any of the model makers, magazines, or WWI organizations to
advertise. If you did the magazine, then you could also do a mini-version of it
on the web, since you need the advertisers for the mag. Just a thought.
