That's me, at least when it comes to multi-aircraft volumes like the FMP ones. I read every datafile through carefully as I get it, then forget 90% of the contents until Ineed it for a model. OTOH I *have* read the IRAS book almost through, because it differs from the others in it's content - lots of biographies as well, and all interesting, and my dipping into the other volumes has been less enthusiastic on the French volume..

Oh, I'd buy one, too. But I think the point is, they could spend the tooling dollar on something else, since there is currently no dearth of nice 1:72 Dr.1s.

Revell can see that Eduard and Roden are making *money* selling decent kits of Dr.1 's So, as a business and therefore rather obliged to make money they will want their share. It amazes me how often I read/hear people saying "why has released a when they could do something else" Answer is, of course, that the overproduced subjects make *money* and not only does a model company need subjects that do that directly, but also need the well known subjects to capture the loyalty of the newcomer who starts by buying a "red triplane please, like that Baron feller flew" and develops loyalty to the company as a consequence. Don't discount the importance of that. My son Morgan, aged almost 9, is adamant that Matchbox kits are the best after having excellent early encounters with them, then rather less happy experience with what we'd say were MUCH better kits.

The one he's building right now is a Revell kit (and beautifull too if you like 1/72 WW2 German armour with link and length tracks. It looks *great* now but he had a heck of a time getting the individual track links on and won't take advice (like father, like son) or especially assistance on account of the slightest help would disqualify him entering it in a contest :-) Makes me proud twice - that he's such an enthusiast modeller already and that he's seriously honest about it. His mother must have taught him something :-) His sisters too - same reaction. I can't move in the library at the moment because there are two card tables set up so all three of them can model at the same time as I do.

Now a taped 2 pieces of .007 monofiliment on each side of the .020 thou pieces and they fit into the sawed cut in the wheel half. One end of the monofiliment I taped down, the other draped over the end of the work bench with weights. .. They are now CA'd to the wheel half. .. Repeat the process for each set of spokes on that wheel half. .. Repeat the process for each wheel half. ..

I thought rather then just glue the spokes to the tube, I would simulate these discs/rings. ..
