I wouldn't mind an update, even though I haven't sent my check out
yet for Sopwith's catalog. I'll try and post updates from Rosemont
as I can. Would you want prices, or should this part be private
email? If someone's interested, then privately email the listed
price. That might get around the internet "police".

Jesse, where did you get your Czechmaster kit, and for how much?
I've been looking for a Czechmaster Pfalz Dr.I for a while, and
haven't found one yet. Thanks.

The latest flyer I have from Rosemont has all the Atlee
conversions/parts. Just wish they would get more into 1/72nd.
Rosemont also lists the Sierra Scale Short 184 and Gotha WD-7; the
Aeromaster 1/48th SPAD and Dr.I sheets; all SuperScale WW1 sheets;
the Glencoe book re-release with new decals; Flying Machines Press
"High in the Empty Blue" and "Aviation Awards of Imperial Germany,
Vol. IV"; and the latest from Windsock.
