[WWI] Internet Modeler

In which Matt highly objectively chunters on about the Nieuport 17 Dual 
Combo:

"Not only is it awesome that Eduard came out with a 1/72nd Nieuport 17, but 
their first "factual" release of this kit contains nothing but French 
markings. Personally I think the French had the best markings on their 
aircraft, the "dragon" of Boyau's machine proving my point. I suspect Eduard 
will release this kit in other guises, with other markings (which 
unfortunately will probably include British PC-10 machines - blech!) so one 
just has to wait for the next releases if one doesn't want to finish the 
Nie.17 as a French machine (which totally defies logic, in my opinion)."

Not only will my first Nieuport 17 be in CDL, but the second one will be a 
"Captured" scheme version., specifically, I have in mind "Captured by Elves" 
- as in what happened to his Nieuport when Capitaine Jean-Jacque Rousseau 
was shot down over The Shire.
