One tiny nitpick though. Eduard did *not* provide a "machine gun spent cartridge shute" on this or the 1/48 kit. I assume that you mean the cover over the empty belt chute - FWIW the spent cartridges are ejected from two holes underneath the aircraft either side of the cenreline between the front undercarriage legs. The tubes they get there through are entirely invisible from outside and not needed. But that's *just* a nit. The model looks great Shane ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Adorning my bar is a paper model of the Hindenburg which is a bit over 50 inches (127 cm) long. I built it a couple of years ago before I had rediscovered enough of my "normal" modelling tools and supplies after the move back from Europe. It is impressive but, as in the case of many of these projects, I don't believe the designer had ever actually built the &%$#@ thing!

It is the way good businesses are run. If tehy were a discount operastion I could understand a lot more readily.. But they are not and they are well lnown in the field as Military Model Distributors. I have also done business with the distribution section of the company. There are things I wish the did as well as those I wish they didn't. Have you tried Aviation USK? Went to the SanAntonio, TX, Alamo Squadron Fiesta XIX, today and they had a better number of OT models and I heard a lot of folks asking questions about WW I. Vendors even had a decent number of publications and seemed to be a bit better answering questions. Lee M.

I spent quite a bit of time with Doug Mather there. (Always a pleasure) Nice show with good entries and lots of vendors. OT entries were spread over categories Vacform Kits, "Origins to 1938" and one brave sole that put a nicely done 1/48 Smer DH2 in with the single engine aircraft category. "Origins" included a couple of 1/72 Spad and Albatri, my Taube, a DH 9 and inter-war stuff. I finally met an Austin modeler that has been blowing me away with the incredible 1/72 scratch builds he displays at our local shop. A large man that puts the most incredible finish one a 1/72 bird that I have ever seen. He is not online unfortunately. Imagine my joy at watching him unload about ten of these incredible birds around my categories! Wonderful prototype birds of all the major players! Most went in to the scratch category thank goodness. Anyway, a great day of modeling madness and I was fortunate to place in both the Vacform and "Origins" categories.

And blaming them for cottage industries as mis-named as "Hi-Tech" for the failure of amateurs to stick to their production schedules is a bit "off" as you on the other side of the pond put it.

While working on the CMk MoS AI, I realised something. Earlier I was wondering about the interior colors, and thought it odd that you would have the metal tubing the same color as the fuselage sides (well, maybe not odd, just boring color wise). I used the Nie.28 as an example. DOH! The majority of the cockpit of the Nie.28 is light gray because the cockpit - up to just behind the seat - is metal! So, the forward most part of the MoS AI would be light gray, while the rearmost (which looks like could be at the point where the instrument panel is) is CDL. Now, not so boring color wise. For those who like the MoS AI in 1/72nd, do yourself a favor and get rid of all the other kits you may have (Merlin, Formaplane, etc.) and pick one of these up. While it looks like I have a poor cast example (a whole ton of pin holes on the fuselage sides) it's still less work then trying to get one of those other kits "up to snuff". Plus, it comes with a relatively complete cockpit!
