It is no coincidence that with the exception of the last one (done smaller by a Canadian company) that these were the big ones done by Revell years ago. The Fokkers Dr.I and 7 are the easiest as little rigging is required (no complex jigs needed) and references material is readily available, and finally they are German - which always sells. Tamiya would probably be more interested in doing something that hasn't been done in a larger scale but was still an important type, which tends to rule out 1/48th as it seems that there are very few *important* types still waiting to be kitted.

A new OT kit similar to the Swordfish would certainly generate some interest, and perhaps build up the WWI market a little, but it would probably be a better kit of a subject which is already available in the form of a pretty good kit. BTW, I ordered a D.VII from Squadron today. With a three week break, I should be able to finish it by New Years! I will certainly let you guys know how it goes. -Chris Friedenbach > > Albatrosdv@aol.com wrote: > > > Give it some thought.

A lot will depend on how many actually get finished and I am not talking about being rigged but just having all the normal parts in place. Since the Spad XIII / Dr1/ DVII/DVIII have been done then it would have to be a Camel SE5a or Nieuport 28. One thing Hasegawa must be watching what Tamiya does so maybe they will take a chance.

Unfortunately (and usually unknown or ignored by North Americans) the US is only a tiny part of the market, so saleability there is a minor issue. The Dr.I has been done to death - which doesn't stop marketing execs from re-doing it. IMHO the next most widely recognised is the Camel. I don't think it's accidental that Eduard intend to release one soon, and I can only assume they felt that the existing kit (Monogram) may have already filled the non-WW1 specialist market to have left the Camel so long.

I am a little surprised that their market is bigger. Hard to say what made Tamiya do a Swordfish in the first place given it's not the most well-knwn biplane subject, or the least well-known. Perhpas people like biplanes but are put off by rigging and non-compliant fit etc. But, they know with Tamiya's reputation, that they're going to get a better chance to do a decent job. Perhpas they like the idea of photoetch rigging. Also, perhaps people just like the idea of high quality. Thanks to all who responded about the French and Austrian FMP hardback books. The problem for me is solved since a listee is selling me their copies. One problem with Squadron, according to my wife, was that they were having computer problems. The nature of this problem is not known to me. Thanks for everyone's help throughout the year. I could not have progressed as far without this list.

That is a list of the books written about or by a WW1 flyer. Plus, how about squadron biographies? Would this be something worth while to compile and add to the site? For example, there's _The Eagle of Lille_ (I think that's the title) for Immellman, and the new _Storks_ book for GC 12. Any others?
