Latest acquisition in your collection
« Reply #2235 on: April 23, 2021, 08:21:38 AM »
I just received a new book from Luftfahrtverlag Start called Jasta 14. A quick thumb through and WOW is it nice. Maybe the push I need to get building WWI aircraft again.

Will be doing a review for another site and can post here if the admin and members wish.

The book looks really interesting - but I wonder if the text is all in German or does it also have english text?

Now this is what I call a result!
Just won off ebay - at less than RRP too.
I'd given up hope of getting one - and with the preferred Italian markings.
Have to clear the decks for this one.

Wow, I'm on a roll here with ebay - after the bargain Aviattic Balilla a few days ago, another couple of desirable resin kits at great prices. The Macchi at almost half price. Now I'm really in a quandary what to start first. (After the Nie17, and the SE5, and .....

Well... jealous or not... last one forever... (Andreas, I think not!!) And this little one fell into my paws... The price made me weep... tears of joy....



Yeah, I put my details on as many places as I could think of to possibly purchase these kits, and yes, you can get lucky.... I'm surprised so many made it to South Africa, but very few got built... We all need a little good news sometime.. this was mine... Regards, Marc.
