[WWI] Windsock International from 10 years ago, and Happy New Years

[Crawford Neil]

Thanks for reminding me Ray! 
So everything has exploded in the last 9 years. 10 years ago
I was still thinking that the Revell series of WW1 fighters was the
best thing since sliced bread, and now they are nearly all superseded.
With the exception of the Nieport 28 and Morane "N" in 1/72 scale,
yet we have stunners of them in 1/48 and 1/32. These are strange days
for an old man!

Toko (Roden) first appear with the Pfalz DXII and Siemens Schuckert
DIII/DIV in the March April 1998 issue. Going back through my windsocks
I'm amazed at how many manufacturers there were even then. Skybirds for
example had quite a range, many of which still havent been seen in
plastic. I was going to say and probably will not, but with Special
Hobby and others producing aircraft I'm not so sure. In 1997 Plum
Blossoms had a 1/72 resin Lloyd CV that was seen as being very esoteric.
I got a newly produced Special Hobby  1/72 Lloyd CV  this pst Christmas.


Oh and 5 years ago (Jan/Feb 2001) Neil had a very nice scratchbuilt Spad
XI on the Gallery page.

10 years ago! Had Toko started up? It must have been around then,
certainly things have improved no end since then.
