Kid in a Sweet Shop
« on: March 12, 2019, 09:51:26 PM »
Apologies...

I know I’m showing off, but I couldn’t resist it  ;D I got an email from Wingnuts this morning saying my Halberstadt was their favourite model this month and would I like to choose a two seater as a prize?  ;D er.. let me think about that for a moment...

Any suggestions on favourite 2 seaters? I can’t make my mind up  ::)

I wonder if they’d give me the RE8 sprues? (Duellist boxing obviously doesn’t count).

Yours braggingly,

Guy

Congratulations for the well deserved price! I have seen it this morning, too.

May be you take a Hansa-Brandenburg W12?
Anyway, have fun with it.
Bye,

Guy very well deserved, you are indeed the one to match for the Des contest as well in my opinion.

I'd take a run at the RE8 idea.

Congratulations Guy! Delighted to see your work recognised by Wingnuts like this.
Tough call to choose a 2 seater.. They are all must haves .

Thank you!

I’ve plumped for a Post War DH9a, it’s in the post   :D

But frankly it could have been any of them!
