Who knows that Faulkner was WWI pilot? Everyone.... OK, that's good too! I've read his short stories, and one ('Turnabout') is really fantastic! Pilot is drinking with sailor, and in the morning he takes sailor to his HP 0/400 as nose gunner on combat mission. Later sailor takes pilot on his boat... Do you know that?

For Silver Cloud I asked for a (ot alert!) Hawker D___n. Popular manufacturers have certainly made more German over the years but where does the demand come from? In relation to why German sells better than Allied, I wonder if this ties in with the somewhat more sympathetic and detailed press Jasta's have got over the years rather than Squadrons and Spas. This is changing I believe with the Windsock 'Squadron' series (lets hope they'll do the same thing for the Storks and other French units) and the Grubb Street books in the specialist fields. The popular media has tended to portray the RFC/RAF as heroic, hapless victims often, and Jasta pilots as dashing, more skilled, more chivalrous in their brightly coloured planes reminiscent of the knights of old. The French, apart from Guynemer, Nungessor and the Lafayette (read US) get little mention in any capacity. Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Italy (outside of their own countries) often don't even rate a mention. Australian pilots known in their own country? Many more know the Red Baron than Robert Little. Link this in with the colour argument and I believe you may be heading towards an answer. All the Best Neil E But this is a prob with the model producers. German stuff sells well.

I would never tell a producer what he "has" to produce. It's his money. Same thing goes for my local model shop. On occasion, the proprietor has asked me whether he should get more of some such product in the store. I pass. I tell him "my" view and explain that I cannot be responsible for judging the entire market, only my own preferences and needs. Yes, German stuff is popular and I've built a fair few of them and people like colourful subjects.

I too went home and checked. There are no colour profiles. Squadron has a b&w photo on pg 29. Windsock Fokker Anthology part-1 has the same photo (pg 49, J13-1) and a line drawing. Here it is identified a Jasta 13 craft flown by Ofstv. Jacob Ledermann. So I guess that is not the right craft.

Sounds really good to me. If some manufacturer does them in 1:48, and providing you don't need to mortage your home to pay for it, I think these a/c would sell fairly well. Since Omega Models is doing 1:48 now, I have some hope that they will produce at least the Farmans to match their 1:72 kits.

Yes, it's written by Roberto Gentilli and Paolo Varriale but currently is sold only in italian("Reparti degli aviazione italiana" or something like that, correct me Bob). I've heard that Hikoki publishers are preparing an english version, but I don't know the status of it. It has hundreds of interesting pictures, but unfortunately they're quite small. Many people commented with the author about this and hopefully this new edition will bring bigger pictures, if that's not too expensive.
