IIRC, it seems that back before Omega came out with the Anatra DS Anasal, either Omega or HR Models had plans to do the Anade, don't remember which scale. Whoever the manufacturer, they were just starting and I'm sure their future plans were very tentative. The FMP IRAS book has three-view drawings of the Anatra D Anade by Ian Stair.

When it comes to the FMP tomes, I just "browse" what I'm interested in. When it comes to smaller books, I read cover to cover. For example, the Chassard book on Dorme and Guiguet I have read cover to cover (as well as constantly browsing ;-)). FWIW...

"...it is a British pronunciation, as the Brits colonized several of the islands and left a legacy of their funny accent, which, as any student of history can tell you, is why the Americans rebelled in the first place - so they would be free from the tyranny of speaking in a manner that comedy troupes the world over would make fun of."

Well, I don't know of Magoo was British (he was voiced by veteran actor Jim Backus), but I seem to recall what you are talking about. It would have certainly predated Scooby. But what I was saying was that the Fokker D.VII that the 'villain' flew was a rather accurate rendition of the type and looked like an early Fokker built machine. Event the rudder and 'N' struts were accurately rendered. Basically I just found it odd that in such a goofy show, someone took time to get one of the planes right. Must have been one of Bob Pearson's first jobs! BTW: yeah I remember Snidely Whiplash and Muttley. The planes in that show, though outrageous parodies, do remind me of Phoenix, Lohner, and Albatros B-types.
