If his kits went for 20 bucks apiece in the States, >I'd feel differently. Besides, Eduard or someone will probably kit them >eventually (or maybe Eric?...) Seems to me that lots of people are still paying way over the odds for BM kits. I don't understand this. Write, fax, telephone or e-mail an order direct to CG and he will send you the kit(s) at the dollar equivalent of the Sterling price (including VAT) anywhere in the world including postage. The SE5a is 21.99 pounds, ie approx 36 dollars. It is a nice kit with alternative fuselage, radiator and engine parts for Wolseley or Hisso engines. There is no PE but the decals are excellent. Some kits may suffer from wing ripples, but BM will always post out, free of any charge, replacement parts anywhere world-wide on receipt of an e-mail etc. I have many CSM kits and will probably buy many more, but I do not understand the comparison as being detrimental to BM. The CSM SE5 is surely directly comparable to the BM SE5a. The CSM kit has alternative parts too (wings & cockpit) and has PE but the decal colours are unlike any ultamarine I have ever seen. There seems to be a fault in the rudder shape which should have parallel leading and trailing edges but does not. However the CSM kit retails at 75 dollars plus 8 dollars for US shipping. CSM are curently offering a sale discount on all kits, BM do it regularly on selected kits. BM may have some kits less good than others - and the wing ripple and thick mould gates are a pain - but my Roland C.II looks pretty good to me. CSM have some very nice kits but I find some things poor (wheels, guns). On the Pfalz DrI, for example, the middle wings attach asymmetrically to the fuselage in front view and this is difficult to correct without major surgery. CSM packaging is excellent, BM have nice box art. I'm afraid I don't see though, how the conclusion is drawn that BM kits, available at 36dollars are rip-offs and CSMs at 83dollars are bargains! I know Eric has to cover his overheads and must price accordingly, and I will certainly buy some of his esoteric subjects which nobody else will make (MS AI, Swallow, Ack etc). But, if you are prepared to pay 83 dollars for a Strutter, why is 40 dollars for an F2b outrageous? (OK they are both on sale - if you are prepared to pay 68 dollars for a Strutter, why is 33 dollars for an F2b outrageous?) The F2b may have wing ripples which require replacement but has two alternative engine choices. The Strutter has ex-Aurora wheels and poor guns. I could keep going on, but won't. I have no connection with either company except as a happy customer of both. I merely pen this in case any new reader is unknowingly put off by previous comments. FWIW I think BM price of 20-22 pounds for a scout is quite acceptable and will continue to buy every kit they produce. I will be annoyed when the damned ripple appears but will put up with it at the low price, for a limited edition kit ( - to build) YMMV Sandy (I'll have to go back to lurking for several months now to atone for this rant!) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 20:08:09 -0500 From: smperry@mindspring.com To: Subject: Re: Bad Blue Max Alb DIII and Pegasus DH2 Message-ID: <001901bf57e2$7f7d3280$8b0956d1@default> > (I'll have to go back to lurking for several months now to atone for this > rant!) > Sandy: Do that and we'll start endless MvR threads till you break and de-lurk. ;-) Well taken points about the kits btw.

We would email each other so that I could fine tune my order. I used to send him a prioritized list of my wants and my budget for that order and we would figure out which items got on the order list and compute for shipping too. After absorbing Battle Hobbies, no way I could reach them by email I tried calling LONG DISTANCE a few times to follow up on an email I sent but the person I talked to could not help me much/did not know about my email message. Granted that this happened a couple of years ago. Their service may have improved but there are mixed comments from other listees. Some say RM's ok, others have had problems. I think I'll stay away from them for the time being. Me being out here in the Philippines, it'd be difficult to follow up on a order I'd make. Hannan's Runway - I've ordered from them before. Good service. They answer my emails promptly. Last night I looked up their website. There was something wrong with their webpage format and I couldn't read the prices of their items. I emailed them about this problem together with a list of the books I want. In a few hours, I received a reply, with prices tagged on to each book on my list. Aeroplane books. I've ordered from them before. Good service. Their Datafiles and DFSpecials are cheaper than Hannan's ($15.95 vs $16.95-17.50 for Datafiles) but their Minis are more expensive ($10.95 vs $9.95). WiseOwl - Haven't ordered from them before. They answer email within a few hours too. I sent them a list of my wants and am waiting for their prices. Let you know when I receive a reply. Albatros - THE SOURCE!! I believe that your order reaches a certain amount, then surface postage is waived. Very tempting. But I dislike the fact that I can communicate with them via snail mail only. I've also heard that their packing methods could be improved. So, for now, my bet's on Aeroplane books. If Ray Rimmel would get an email account, I'm sure he'd up his business. I'd definitetly order from him. I'd might even cut my food budget in half and go for a Windsock/Datafile subscription. Also, with email, he'd get immediate feedback on how successful the order/shipment was (if the books were damaged, etc.) *************************************** Also...... *************************************** WiseOwl replied with prices a day after I sent them an email inquiry. Fast response! However, prices are MUCH higher than Hannan's or Aeroplane Books, at least for those Datafiles I inquired about. Here is a comparison table: (prices in USD) WiseOwl Hannan's AeroplaneBks RollModls Datafiles 19.50-21.00 16.95-17.50 15.95 15.00-16.00 Minis 13.00-15.50 9.95-11.50 10.95 9.00-10.75 Roll Models-definitely the cheapest, some earlier Datafiles as low as $10! Some of us have said good words of them but some tend to shop elsewhere. I've stopped going back since they stopped replying to my email queries. for the sake of completeness, I't like to include below the list of datafiles I inquired about so you know wher I base my price ranges on. Below the list is my previous email about my general feedback on Datafile sources.

Is this an older Pegasus kit? Any features > done well? Any problems building or finishing it? What scheme did you use. I don't know how old a kit it is. I'd guess one of the early Pegs. Was anything done well? Not especially. I suppose the corrugation is ok for the scale. All the TE's are anout 1/16" thick. The little blobs of plastic that were supposed to be guns weren't worth the effort to clean up. Threrfore, this Junkers is armed with a pair of Vickers guns left over from the Toko Strutters. Same with the prop. The exhaust mani isn't too hot either. But all in all, it's a Junkers. It's another game token for my customer, and therefore not built to my usual standard. The scheme is lt.blue underside with green and K&B bag purple on top. BUt it's definitely a nice enough looking model to running around the house making the rnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrn noises. But I'll give a better report on the Ragwings Pfalz E-III. That's a nice kit. I'm trying very hard to resist the urge to rig the wings. It just looks so nice done up in off-white with all the edges and corners trimmed in black.
