It is illustrated with many B&W photos of both pilots and aircraft including the aircraft used in the actions in question where possible. It does not contain profiles and it's not near as good a modelling reference as our own Bob Pearson illustrated 'Victoria Cross' by Alex Revell. But at the sale price it's an excellent value and would make a useful addition to any WW1 aviation library. I'm am not in any way connected with Hampstead House Books but as a satisfied customer of many years can vouch for their reliability. They are a professional mail order house supplying Canadian schools and libraries.

I read with interest the tips on applying Propagteam decals. I applied the upper wing Iron crosses yesterday, and have a tip for anyone doing the Albatros D.V. Before soaking the decal in water you must cut a slit in the decal where the aileron actuator goes, and allow the actuator to stick through the slit. Cut the slit well over length to allow the decal to be positioned. And as stated before, keep the decals in water for a while after they loosen up on the sheet. The first one that I applied was perfect, the second I did not soak long enough and the leading edge stuck in the wrong position and tore when I tried to move it around. Luckily I had another kit and used the decal from this one. After the extra soaking it went on well. Micro sol drew the decal right down on the aileron actuator. After drying it was perfectly drawn down. The aileron actuator had to be painted black to blend in with the decal, then a coat of semi-flat blended it all down.

It really is much easier (I know, I know, all the hardheads here like to do it the hard way on the theory that "I feel soooo very much better now that I am not beating my head against that wall!")

Dale - Both Eduard and Flashback kits wings (appear to be same mold) measure 6 5/8 inches which scales to the 26 1/2 feet span given in DF. They are just about "on" when laid over the DF drawing, if anything maybe just a hair long, but no big thing.
