Hi guys,
  The N28 is the prototype of a new kit being offered by Aerodrome
Airplanes.  This is the company I bought my full scale N17 from.  It was
built by Ray Jarvis.  List price is a modest : $14 K +

Candi

PS.  Rumor has it that Robert, the owner of Aerodrome, is looking for a
new kit project, possibly a 1:1 Sopwith pup.

A friend went to the EAA fly-in in Oskosh. They had a couple of planes
there that were specifically built for the movie. One was Fokker Dr. I
the other was a Nieuport 28 in the Hat in Ring Squadron markings. The
Dr. I was all red from back of cockpit forward and from back of cockpit
white. It had a white, what looked like a raven, under the cockpit. 
Someone said they had thought it was loosely based on the Lafayette
Esquadrille, but with the Hat in Ring markings I wonder if will have
anything to do with Capt. Rickenbacker.

T.O.M.
