Not sure about "See, too many Davids!!!" though... but it was written by another David, so I suppose its ok... :-) Well, I havent built anything for two years. The first step was to rejoin the list - next, a trip to the hobby shop to replace my glues (which have turned to rock in the interim). The "Future" has a somewhat gelatinous viscosity too. I know it can be thinnned, but for the cost of Future I think I will get some new stuff. The paints seem to be fine, which is good. There must be a couple of hundred of those.

Yeah, they've done it for some of their 1:48 stuff, like the Albatros D.V. Who knows why they won't do so in the smaller scale...

Have seen their little German WWII fighters, and hear they're pretty nice. Wonder if the Junkers will have interiors...

There is nothing wrong with the Italerei Me-41* and 21* kits. They are very reasonably priced, and a little aftermarket for pe or canopy and you've got a very nice ot model. I believe, however, that the Italerei and Eduard versions are different subtypes, even if the differences are less than major. > > > I do - though mainly military transports, I include > > fighters etc in the > > collection to give a sense of scale.

Even a single-seat kerosene burner (say, and please forgive me, an F-15 or A-10) tends to get big in 1/72, let alone 1/48th. The average 1/144th fighter j*t is about the same size as the smaller 1/72nd second unpleasantness or the 1/72nd OT aircraft. I've seen people put an amazing level of detail into these - but then I had to look at them with a magnifying glass to see everything. .Mark. ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 4912 **********************
