If you're reading this Glen, how about some Russian Air Service and Italian squadriligia markings other than the same old subjects. From pictures, it's apparent that there were some highly unusual marking schemes done by these nations. Some Belgian and American markings would be nice too. I'm really looking forward to the JG1 sheets when they're produced. Todd Hayes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

The first half a dozen or so had no resin or metal parts, later ones have some: mainly engines, wheels, and propellors. No decals and little information about markings or details--you need lots of reference material for any of them. The vacforming is very good--thick enough to be able to make small adjustments without making holes, but thin enough to look in scale. Rib detail generally is quite good; louvers are not. Reviews generally state that the accuracy is also quite good, but they're basically one vacformed sheet with the major components and you do the rest. Mr. Sierra Scale has been on a layoff the last few years, but I hear tell that he may be coming back soon. I like them; they're good starting points for some interesting planes; I'm sure someone else hates them, but that's life... Try one and see!

His proud father was then the Assistant Commissioner of the United Provinces of India, with the result that young James learnt the ways of bush survival at an early age, and could handle a rifle well at the tender age of seven. Unfortunately, he contracted a fever which was to dog him not only through his childhood in India but later on whenever he visited the tropics. At the age of fourteen, Biggles commenced schooling at his father's old school, Malton Hall, in rural England, a school primarily for lads destined for the British Army. Biggles' elder brother Charles had also attended Malton before entering Sandhurst. (Charles, with the rank of Major, was to die under enemy fire just before the end of the war.) Although Biggles' father intended that the lad should go to university and study for the Indian civil service exam, the Great War arrived. Biggles quickly found himself in Norfolk at No 77 Flying Training School. After a number of adventures, he was posted to Maranique with 266 Squadron, via 169. It wasn't long before his brilliant abilities in the air saw his elevation to Captain Bigglesworth, flawless saint as portrayed in the reprinted stories of the 1950s and 60s. Although fearless in any crisis, Biggles sometimes took to the bottle briefly to dull tragic occurrences (of which there were many in those violent days). Late in the war he had a brief encounter with Marie Janis, a Belgian lass who proved to be a German spy. Biggles' cousin, the Honourable Algernon Lacey, ALGY from this point on joined 266 in 1917. The two became inseparable companions despite early misgivings on Biggles' part, with the result that they formed a chartering operation, Biggles & Co, after the War ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

The fuselage lacing is hand-done and rather crude. There is a nice decal sheet for '38944' and two plastic trees of struts in addition to the outlined ones on the vac sheet. All told, a fairly basic kit, but eminently buildable - mind you, I haven't actually built it...
