Nope.  Have to wait for the Profi-pack version.  Current release is all
plastic.  I will use left-over Eduard Pfalz D.III brass detail sets and
gun jackets from spare Albatros D.V/Va detail sets.

So what was wrong with the tail skid. And outside of one pushrod being on
the wrong side of the manifold, that looked like a good Argus to me. (I've
detailed 5 in 2 different scales this year).

Only thing I had a Dicta E about was the nosebowl. The strip didn't cut it
for accuracy, but overall it is beautiful model. Those wheels are in the
same league as those on  a certian Biff we've all admired.

    Check out www.pegasusmodels.com for his site. The Alb looks every bit as
good as the SE. Same price! We have to do everything possible with our
mighty Canadian dollar.

The price of BlueMax at local stores is much higher than you would pay if you
bought direct from Chris Gannon. Up here the sticker price for a Halberstadt
is $82 cdn. Thats without adding the gst and pst which would take it close
to $100.
I instead bought direct and it cost me $61 including shipping. (Shsh the tax
man didnt open the parcel to charge me tax.) 
>From what I have seen BlueMax have gone up at source by 6 pounds. In a hobby
store that even stocks Pegasus and BlueMax I have a feeling there adding a
fair amount because they are either buying through a third party or not sure
that they wont have a model they can't sell on there shelves.

This brings us to the modeller's prayer - "Lord, give me patience, AND
GIVE IT TO ME QUICK!!!".  I personally find that the most relaxing part
of the hobby is the initial fitting and filing.  I can while away hours
sanding vacform parts until everything is "just so", and then I move on
to the next model, leaving a string of unfinished kits in my wake.

I have been remarkably silent of late because I have been working "ot"
and I didn't want to be the recipient of a flame war...

May I be the first to start the inevitable flurry of "Merry Xmas"
messages:  Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Fröhe Weihnachten, Buon Natale, 
Vesele Vanoce, Priecigus Ziemassvetkus!, Feliz Natal, "Oh May Day Toe O'
Gozaieemas", Maligayang Pasko and my apologies to those whose languages
I've missed.

I know of at least one other list member who persuaded the internet store they
were buying from to say it was a gift on the customs form.

For us Canadians, I beleive they didnt open the parcel because they marked
the value as 21 pounds and I suspect the post office people just saw the 21
and didnt notice it was pounds. So I will order one model at a time to escape
the notice of the nasty tax people......

At least thats my theory.   Ray

   Come to think of it. It probably costs me as much to drive from Oshawa to
my pusher in Mississauga and back as it would to buy the money order and pay
the postage and the tax.  Hey there is a bright side to the rising price of
gas!
   God, I sound like a cheap bastard. Must be getting old. Well time to go
sit on the porch with the 'ol .22 and keep those little brats and their
hockey ball off my driveway.  Later I'll hide their hockey net in the back
yard. I wonder what I can get for it on Ebay?  : )

Just to update Squadron's service, I ordered mine a week/ten days ago.
It came today, alonmg with some other stuff. There was also a small
flyer about some  Russian plastic models made by somebody in NJ that I
think were discussed earlier.

What a beautiful job on that S4C.  I built paper and balsa back in the
30s, but my arthritic fingers wouldn't let me do that today.  I want to
find some good sources for plastic.

Hi Marlon,

I can dump them all the relevant list messages onto you (let me know) or
you can check the archives dated about Nov-Dec '97
