Right now I'm reading history of 16th Polish Scout Squadron 1918-1921. It was formed in France as 39 Esc. on Breguet XIV. In fact it supposed to be one of the Polish squadrons but there was only one Polish pilot - Lt. Kossowski. Rest was French. And all French crew came to Poland with gen. Haller's "blue army" as we call polish toops served with french army in french uniforms. First few months it was 39a Eskadra Wywiadowcza - continuing traditions of French escadrille. Very interesting story. Do you know that famous SPA.3 stork was designed by Polish - Borzecki IIRC name. That is only part of our French connections. -- Witold Kozakiewicz ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2001 09:58:16 +0200 From: Witold Kozakiewicz To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Back in business Message-ID: <3B417B18.51A98B6F@bg.am.lodz.pl> Pedro Soares napisał(a): > > Helllllllooooooooooooooo!

SPAD 13 - Revell out of scale, Airfix S.VII recently reissued, new kit wings could be adapted for it. 2. SE5/5a - SE5 unavailable here, Revell SE5a very rare - haven't built mine for that matter (cunning excuse, isnt it? :) 3. Sopwith Dolphin 4. Caudron R.11 5.

I had planned to buy more in the next month or two along with a group of other wwi modelers However I have found out that you are using box art that you have not been given permission to use. Currently this artwork is from original art by Bob Pearson and Robert Karr. I find this a deplorable act, especially given the fact that both artists are quite prepared to let you use the art for a small fee or exchange of models. I will be advising all the modelers I know including those at the local IPMS not to buy your products, until you make proper arrangments with the artists in question. It took research, artistry and time to make the molds for your models therefore you will I'm quite sure not want to deprive other artists of there just deserts.

I just finished redoing some of my older profiles (Nieuport 14 and 6) and I'm finally about to start the Nieuport 4 profiles. Welcome back Pedro. Mike F.

I've joined since you left so we haven't met. Just another styrene junkie here... don't feel bad about your unfinished Albatros; heck, I haven't even started mine! If you need a quick fix, lots of new stuff has emerged since you've been gone... mosy notably, IMHO, the Roden Gotha. Not exactly a weekend build, but opening the box alone should get the blood going! Cheers, Andrei Wayne, NJ USA ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3496 **********************
