Terri,

Pretty sure I know which book you mean!

Do we start building now or do we need to wait to be eligable?

Hi Michael , before we can start building I have to hand this in for approval first . Still will have some time to wait . Campaign doesn't start until fall time Sept 1/09 so can't start building until then . If it's to long of a wait and you feel it doesn't work out for you in the time frame no worries .

Terri,

Not a problem, just wanted to make sure I knew how it worked.

I just hope I remember by then, the memory is the first thing to go! Well, maybe the second, after the knees.

Okay, late as usual but can I be No 11 purrrrrrlease?

Favouring the Eduard 1/48th DRI prolly inCarl Bolle's markings..I made that in 1/28th a while back...mebee a 1/32 Camel if I get my hands on the Hobbycraft offering but I dont have much ref on that....I have the New Windsock DRI book on order right now.....tempted to go 1/32nd as I have a damaged one that got destroyed in a house move and the Andreas resin offering too, so I has plenty of 1/32 DRI spares

As you see not very decided but definately in

Well, I got to Jadar's web page, couldnt believe their prices......bought the photoetch for the Camel SE5a and DRI all in 1/32......the DRI and Alb DIII OAW and lots of odds and sods....


Went to Hannants and ordered the 1/32 Academy Camel and the 1/48th profipack camel, windsock file and a dual DRI set from Eduard....lots of expense but I may enter the stripes campain too Enough to keep me industrious for a while...added to whats in the stash.

red raced but not as red faced as when my wife sees the packages turn up.

I have the Camel kit already , just haven't decided on whether the scratch the cockpit or get the part set myself . Also need to get the datafile as well . So this will be on hold for some time . I have lot;s in 48 scale of both with many marking options .

I'm sure the Miss's won't mind at all once you bring her flowers and something else really nice and shiny . She will for give you !

That would be great Keith . I haven't see or read anything towards a review on this and what fit issues there might be trying to incorporate the PE parts to kit . When I get all settle in the States It will be easy and cheaper for me to get it .

Cool. I'll commit to the GB. I won't be able to use the Eduard Camel and Dr.I as they will be done in short order. And these profiles / serialled machines never met in combat. But I do have a couple of Dr.I kits waiting in the wings as it were. I have done them as a couple of machines that are in a Jasta 11 line up. (155/17 ? and 502/17.)

For those of you interested Here is a book from Osprey that is germain to our GB.
