[WWI] re Survey

[Dave Calhoun]

OK can only pick 5?
#1 would be my all time favorite never been kitted in 1/48 scale and
somewhat widely used.... AGO C.I/II  Looks like a P-38 Lightning with 2
wings, one of my all time favorites.
#2 the Junkers J.1, another tough workhorse with the only appearance ever
being the old Lonestar kit with resin wings and photoetched fuselage, good
luck trying to hold up the solid wings with the flimsy plastic strut they
provide in the kit...
#3  Salmson 2A2 with American markings - I have a resin & a vac kit but
would require completely scratchbuilt interior using Jim Landon's 1/16 build
and references for guidance, not enough time in the year for me to do either
one...
#4 Spad S.XIII I believe...with Billy Mitchell markings
#5 Le Piere Lusac (not sure if I spelled it right) but a cool looking "what
If" that would have been used by USAS in 1919.
As you can all see, looking for any and all American aircraft while not
wanting to do another PC10 colored drab & boring stringbag lol!
of course I would second a Liberty plane DH4 and would definately buy one
but never the DH4 airliner or ambuilance!

Listees,

   I'd like to try to encourage Roden/Special Hobby/Eduard to expand the
availability of OT two-seaters.  To that end, I'd like to take a survey and
then pass the results to the companies mentioned.

   The encouragement would be to produce a 1/48 injected kit that would have
a higher sales figure than vac/resin kits that might already be available.
So, the question:

   Which five two-seaters would you most like to see, in order of
preference?  Unfortunately, since the goal is to get votes together that
might actually lead to a new kit, that leaves you and your Naglos out, I
guess, Diego.  !Que lastima!

   Please submit votes by replying to this e-mail and I'll put the replies
together.  My own vote:

   Salmson 2A2 (with at least some American markings)
   Breguet 14
   LVG C.V (or C.VI)
   Rumpler C.IV
   Hannover Cl.II/III/IIIa (retool of Eduard's older kit)
