Your work on the Photo galleries has been awesome, a task I didn't have time to do properly. I'm hoping you'll continue to spearhead that effort as long as it interests you.

Just check the reviews area of Roll models site and take a look at Steve's "Was ist das?" vignette. Could a bad kit be used for such an exquisite piece of great modeling? Only real problem with the kit are the wings and some care is needed in order to fit the struts. wing: cut a slice at each wing root until they fit and be sure to have them propery aligned when glueing struts: dry fit top wing first and see if they need a bit trimmed off. Better replace some of the other struts with evergreen rod.

The best game in town is probably still Barry's (Rosemont) noses and interior with the old Revell kit. Or, one could scratch an interior/kitbash from the Roden cockpit...

He's got an interesting scale of noises that we can employ to determine the Nieuportness of an article.

It struck me how much the site had really grown during the last 4 years. When I first joined the list in November 1998, the number of built models on the site was so much smaller, and the informational content has grown rapidly. I really believe, though I cannot prove, that the site has done a great deal to promote and increase interest in World War One models. Obviously, the hard work of maintaining and updating the site has played a huge role in this.
