Here goes... I cannot speak to accuracy since I have very few pictures and no drawings but it looks like a DH-9a. There are 32 plastic parts; they are somewgat lacking in fine detail but not too much falsh. The wings' upper surface ribs are way too prominent and the underside's are bald. The latter is easy enough to deal with but the tops will have to be sanded carefully. The photoetch looks OK on the fret but I cannot say whether it will look OK when you use it. The decals are not too good. The blue is pale/powder blue - mine are new so it's not that they've faded, and the red disc in the centre of the roundel is too small in diameter. Upon looking at it again, I think that once the ribs are sanded down to more realistic proportions, and the roundels replaced, it's not too bad.

I made the change as suggested. Did it work? BTW, I sent you a series of Albatros pix and a list of my projects in reply to your OT update today. Did you receive?

There's a certain Orca now swimming in a captive tank in Northern Virginia who commands more than his share over there who I wish we could "release to the open sea." I used to go there regularly, I now go maybe twice a week, and if I find five threads to read and one to respond to, I think it's "good." Close to unsubbing that one (as I have most of the NGs - I guess I'm the guy who has to find the "cool club" and the "great group" ahead of the hoi polloi, I really think the IQ of the Internet has gone down in the past 10 years as it has opened up to the "unwashed." ) BTW - this list is as good as finding a good jazz club six months before it gets a review from the "cutting edge" reviewer on the LA Times.
