Simply amazing. I placed my order on Nov. 12th and it was here for delivery (from New Zealand!) on the 20th. Unfortunately I was not home on Friday for a total of maybe an hour and this is when the postman came along. All I received that day was a note saying that delivery was attempted but were unable to (because of a required signature) but I could stop by on Monday and pick the package up. Talk about torture. Knowing that my kits were here but I had to wait until Monday.  :'(

Now time to peruse those instructions and start one of the best parts, the part that takes place in the mind. I really like the thinking process of anything I build. Choices and decisions, and what is needed to accomplish the building.

Hi Gerg
One of my favourite models in my collection is a Pfalz I made in 1/48 in the same markings as the one of the WNW box. I also had the pleasure to see a completed WNW Fe at a show and it looked awesome in that scale. Good luck with your builds. It is a good idea to get the models one at a time and not build a stash. I started my stash a few years ago when WWI subjects were not so well covered and therefore snapped anything up that came out for fear of it not being around in time to come. This was a mistake because there is now a great choice out there and it is getting bigger.
Cheers, Alan.
