[WWI] ....of New decals

[Andy Bannister]

They are very nice without a doubt, but still expensive as far as I'm
concerned. Most sheets with 10+ options usually cost in the 7-9 quid range.
Nearly 13 of the queeg's finest sterling for 10 options is approaching value
for money for those who are fans of the subject, but with the limited appeal
of WWI aircraft (outside of dedicated WWI modellers) I still think it will
be a struggle to sell many at that price. I do like the Pup but considering
how much work the Airfix kit needs I doubt I I'd be building more than a
couple at best so can't see myself forking out that kind of cash for a decal
sheet that will go mostly unused. 

Then again, maybe I'm just a cheap bastard... :-)
