These arrived today...I kept going back and forth on the Gotha and figured I would regret missing it when it sells out!

I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Well done Kreston, I think you have made a wise move on the Gotha.

Well I guess I fell off the wagon end of January. Well some kits and books came today. Bulking up my WNW as I sell off my other stuff and a Chinese tank for work. The blue book is Fighter Aircraft of the 1914-18 war. I read a neat fictional series of novels and just had to do the DH.2 and Fe.2b and then when I researched and saw all the great work and especially Lance's current project I caved and got them. Oh well thats it for me for a while as I attempt to climb back on the frugal wagon.

   That's quite a haul James, and the DH.2 and Fee will keep you busy for a good long while! Nicely done!
Cheers,
Lance

Some really great Hauls in the last few days. Congrats guys. I finally received my WNW Pfalz Decal sheet I ordered, as well as a Toms PE set for the Roden Pfalz DIII, and Windsock Issue from my friend Macs Ebay Auction. I also just pulled the trigger on the order button for my Upcoming Birthday Present, a WNW DH2.

I must be nuts but the good price and  free shipping special offer from Squadron last weekend was too much to resist.  :)

Have a vignette idea in mind and yesterday this arrived to help with my plans :)  Unfortunately the ribbon is a bit too short.

Just did my first order from Drill Bits Unlimited, thanks Des for arranging the group discount!  Tried the #80 and they are very sharp, accidentally drilled right my Nieuport wing with just a few twists!

Well done Dave, they are a great company to deal with and yes, the drill bits are extremely sharp.
