Hey Merrill! How about a 30 minute disertation of Braniff airlines brown? Sheesh! You'd have thunk it was Voß cowl or PC10.

I miss the old Aero Historian crowd.

I visit HS frequently, and you just have to 'filter out' the whining, and pay attention to the 'real' builders,  who either don't sweat the minor stuff, or correct it on the spot, just like most of us. The rest ARE whiners (maybe that should be spelled weiners), like a former member of one of the clubs I belong to, who would bitch about the problems with inexpensive kits, and bitch about the price of newer, better, more detailed ones, I got to thouroughly dislike having the guy around, but he is a species of modeler too frequently encountered, better known as a **holes .

If one "hangs out" on HS routinely, one will recognize the voices and come to one's own conclusions as to how dire the situation is based on what voice is being heard.

Well said Buz! 

I sadly lost my copy of Brad Hansen’s “World War One in Plastic” when I moved from Florida to Virginia 22 years ago. 

(“Three moves is as good as a fire” and all that) 


But my memory of that book makes that statement almost flat we have it so good right now. 


I don’t have an Eldon Match-Kit Albatros to directly compare, but I know an Eduard kit is light-years ahead. 


Dekals, PE, kits of all sorts, ref materials – Yay!

Steve, 







     I totally agree with you.  Although I think the guy who has the problem with the kit was "half way" joking.  However, I'm sure as more of these WINGNUT kits come out and into the hands of modelers we will soon hear more nitt-picking critiques of these kits.  I'll just defer the critics to the early volumes of WINDSOCK magazine to adjust their perspective of today's WW1 models. 







Buz (WW1 modelers today never had it so good!)
