The time scale for building will need to be longer than for single seater types. I would still like to pledge the Staaken as my project. There must be someone out there who has one. I will pay reasonable money for for one. Not $200.00 Dollars maybe but not peanuts either. So consider that you may be turning some long half forgotten loft insulation into the cost of your next resin kit. Thinking about state of the art resin casting you'll be getting the better deal--whoever you are.

Considering I just completed the first of my two Albatros cookup projects I'm not ready to begin discussing the next cookup. Especially since I haven't started my Sopwith cookup yet either. What's the marginal end date for the Sopwith cookup? June? Sheesh! It's a fun idea though. I think Giant should mean multi-engined bombers, by the way. That way we *might* get a few HP's to balance the slew of Gotha's, Fredrichshavens, Staakens and SSW's. Later! Brent -----Original Message----- From: aa8.

We certainly want HP's--I think Rosemont used to do a conversion to make an Airfix 0/400 into an 0/100. If anyone wants to get the conversion kit. I have an 0/400 to trade that they could butcher. Also a Vimy and a DH10. I had an Eastern Star DH10 once. Masters by J Chubbock and rather nice. Somebody else's need was greater than mine so I traded it. So we've got two engines as the first parameter also any country. Any other thought anyone?
