so reading the description there are no 1/48 drawings as there have been in the past? it says 9 factory drawings,for which planes? the descriptions for earlier releases were more detailed on the exact contents. jack herris is a nice guy, i will support him regardless. my only dealings with him personally were quite favorable.

Albatros 1234,

This one is authored by Colin Owers. The drawings appear to be 1/72 scale and they are of lesser known a/c, for example, Brandenburg D, DD, L15, L14, L16, G.1, etc.

oh,ok. i know the L16 is the triplane and the L15 is the one that looks similar to a landplane version of a w12(not exactly) i think the D is an early 2 seater and G1 is obviously a multi engine bomber/ but yes those are obscure and not what i would have expected.
