with Pegasus and Blue Max kits.  Good kits as such, but requires a "real
modeler" to bring out the best in them.

    Thanks Warren, but honestly, all the WWI kits since he started stuffing 
them in boxes rather than baggies are realy not that hard. IMHO the only bad 
side  is that you really need to junk most of the interiors in the Pegasus 
range, since most (but not all) are generic. The cockpit sides usually need 
thinning, and you often have to make your own struts, which can also be a 
pain, but it does improve your skills. As you say, basically good kits, 
although needing work, but I think so long as you don't expect to be spoon 
fed (as the latest Eduard offerings seem to do) you can get much more 
enjoyement actually doing that work with these things, rather than just 
assembling what amounts to a 3D puzzle, and what needs to be done is well 
within the abilities of the average modeller.
