<DIV>Hahahaha, I am not old. The reason for 1/48 is I used to play rugby, so my piano career is in the pits and my fingers are as nimble as a huge truck and trailer on a skid-pan. My fingers these days are the equivalent of a blue whale in a kiddies paddling pool.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello everyone, I just joined the mailing list last week and would like to say hello to you all. My name is Colin Strachan, I own a small British company called Freightdog Models, and I am also the new owner of the Pegasus and Blue Max range. Today I attended the IPMS Coventry model show and met Steve Cox, who suggested I introduce myself to you all. I am definately no expert on WWI subjects, but I hope to learn quickly, so I can carry on the good work from where Chris Gannon left off and help to promote this facinating period of Aviation History with new items from Pegasus and Blue Max Productions. </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards Colin </DIV>
