If your DH4 kit does have yellow roundels it will be worth a fortune on the other hand with the picky lot about to day well spoilt for choice it may not, you should have made it up years ago as I did, my DH4 has no serial no to check in the DH4 File and looks quite clunky by todays offerings, dont get side tracked up in that loft it could be fatal this time of the year.

I now have the information I need to continue to track the family and perhaps be able to show the connection with the local Thomas family. Ian.

The DH4 box art doesn't show yellow edging to the roundels. The fuselage roundels seem to have a white outer. However, all six roundels on the transfer sheet do have yellow edging ! I bought the DH4 last year, out of curiousity, for very little money. I passed up the opportunity to buy other Aurora originals, like the Breguet 14, as I have them already in one form or another. Aeroclub found some Aurora/K&B Breguets and the Albatros two-seaters which were sold with Aeroclub replacement parts. Still regret that I didn't buy an Albatros, but then I haven't built the Breguet yet (or the Gotha, or the DH10). Nick ------------------------------ End of CCI Digest 809 *********************
