( > Reflex trained in the 1980'ies) I think for those of us who inherently love the WWI birds, the acquisition of Eduard kits is no problem at all. Right? But, yeah, a kid who happened to hear of the Red Baron (not Schumacher) would readily find a model of that cool-looking German triplane in many, many places. And another WWIer is born, perhaps. Knowing Revell, its build standards will be high, so it should be an easy sell. Multi-wing a/c are hard-enough for the intermediate modeller to build anyway - if that's the biggest challenge for the novice, all the better. (I'd readily give an Eduard - and undoubtedly the forthcoming Revell - offering to a beginner. I say if I hand this individual the Roden kit of this same famed type - we'd probably kissing all this burgeoning modeller's enthusiasm goodbye.) (I did, in fact, just hand a 1:72 Eduard D.Va non-Profi' to my boss, today, complete with the Fotocut Spandaus I had bought for it. Had previously told him I had a ton of kits, and to just ask if he were interested in exploring the hobby as an adult. Handed him a stack of my SAMIs, the other day, and he later asked me if my offer still stood. His words: "Surprise me." Pondered granting my 1:48 Albatros non-Profi', or that spare Nie.11 Profipack I just had shipped to me - destined to be Baracca's machine. Could have given him my spare ProModeller '58 Vette... knew you guys would never forgive me. Decided on the D.Va, 'cause it's a lovely kit of a lovely plane that I knew he'd like, and the plans for it - Könnecke's mount - were not as cemented as those for the aforementioned plastic. Part of the reason - any of you cats know where I can find markings for his green D.V, in either 1:72 or 1:48?) Simply put, Shane, you have helped me see why we need another 1:72 Dreidecker. (Did you catch that, Hans? See, I learn quickly...) Still wish they'd done a Camel. :p Sean ===== www.pitpass.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Right? Not even close. Distribution is reasonably spotty and 99% of the worlds population still doesn't have internet access, so little idea of where to buy aside form a local shop which might conceivably (in my country) be 1000 miles away. *We* the members of the list are extremely priveledged in regards to our access to kits. > > Revell is available in all > > big supermarkets over here. Not here, but far more widely that Eduard since toy stores often carry Revell.

Message-ID: Let me introduce myself to you about this business, My name is Aly Yangz. I am now focusing on one online opportunity. I have tried several of these online opportunities full of hype promising us thousands of dollars every month. It is a sad fact that many people who are in need to earn additional income is being victimized by this fly by night scam artists. Every time I tried one opportunity after the other, I ended more broke than ever. As a result of trying all these opportunities, I have decided to select on my portfolio the company which is true to their words. Not the one full of hype. The only one that has consistently sent me the monthly check. Even without the hype they have given me the best compensation plan with their high % commission. They are providing real service not the one that simply transfer wealth from the new signups to the people at the top of the pyramid. They are not a form of a pyramid scam. Also when you join, you will have a team of upline sponsors who will help you succeed every step of the way. Instead of being left alone, you will be guided step by step by real people, not those autoresponders. Do not believe in do nothing, no recruiting, no selling schemes. They are scams. You might want to try it to prove my words. Only you can make your own success together with the help of your sponsors. If you have 2 to 3 hours a day, you will be able to earn a full income in a few months. And there is absolutely no limit as how much you can earn. It is designed to gain momentum after some time.

The 2 big national Toy chainstores Kay-Bee & Toys-R-Us eithser don't carry plastic models or very very few of them. Growing up - it seemd like every Department Store had a toy section with an extensive selection of models. Even drugstores and the 5&Dimes had models. Bought my first Aurora WWI kit in a drug store. We of course are as we have discussed many times before, a niche market, so I would expect to have to go to a hobby store to find WWI stuff. However, I can only think of one hobbystore in driving distance that regularly stocke Eduard. My local plastic pusher is a WWI wasteland and cannot be convinced they would sell. He'll special order of course, but it seems like he asks full retail plus $31.50 for a Profi-Pack Albatros D.II. We are priviledged by our access to kits here on this list - or at least the knowledge of where to buy them.

My only hope now is this cash my father carefully packed and deposited as Artifacts with a Securty/Finance Company outside Ivory Coast, this sum of US$27M can easily be withdrawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary. The security/Finance Company based on my instructions will release the fund to you. You are to be presented as my business partner who will be fronting for me in subsequent ventures and in truth you will be fronting for me in the areas of business you deem profitable. To show my preparedness and appreciation to conduct this business with you, I shall give you and your family US$5.4M of the funds and 20% commission on all proceeds realized from the investment of this fund. Also, US$1.35M is to be set aside for lany eventual cost that may occur in the process of this transaction. Please, I need your full support and co-operation for the success of this venture.
