Received some more tiny brass nuts from RB Motion, 120 x B1279 and 220 x B1280, these should keep me going for a while.

...I am currently reading 'Open Cockpit'...

I have just recieved this same book from Amazon today and also happen to be building a 46 squadron Pup, albeit in 72nd scale.

Just received from Amazon Jack Herris' books Rumpler and Aviatik, both up to the usual standards of the series, only problem I see is the smaller books do not have printing on the spine so I get a strange view on the bookshelf and hard to locate the correct title sometimes.

Just got a Wingnut Junkers J.1! The only thing is, I'd ordered a Bristol Fighter.

No worries though. An email has been sent and I know they'll make good.

Cheers,
Eric

The J-1 is a good build!

Just got two books:
The first one is in Bulgarian and it reads "A History of the World War (1914–1918)" by Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart, a hard cover edition for just 15 EUR
The second one "World War One in the trenches" is like a 40-50 pages leaflet with more period pictures than text and six A4 printouts of propaganda posters

Something to put on the wall in my workshop! This one costed 7 EUR.
They were just a deal that I wasn't able to resist

best regards,
Sasho

PS: for some reason I can't get the pics rotated the way I want :-/ Sorry

Good stuff, Des! Looking forward to the build log. Any particular scheme strike your fancy?
Cheers,

I'm leaning towards the scheme used on the TVAL Nieuport, it looks quite good but I will scour the net to see if I can come across better looking markings, I also need to get some good cockpit detail photos, if anyone has any I would be very appreciative.
