[WWI] June IM

[Chris Banyai-Riepl]

Ahh, that's what I had hoped (rather than me missing some major kit company
:-))  Yes, the 1/48 & larger crowd did start out as a primarily North
American thing, but only in those early years.  DML, Eduard, Blue Max,
Roden, and now Wingnuts has firmly wrested that away from the New World.

BTW, I had thought about including 1/72 in my review, but by the time I had
gathered information on that through to the 1970s, I was looking at a
20-page article.  I know y'all love my writing, but I think that would be
really putting it to the test....
