I am getting dizzy with al these new items coming up which really are so interesting to build! I should have kept just to 48th scale. . . Cheers, Nico

I won't say I told you so. BUT the SSW D.III / IV and DH 2 were in the top 5 choices. the SSW in both 1/48 & 1/32 and the DH 2 in 1/32 from last year's wish list.

Stephen, Is the diagonal application of the lozenge fabric accurate for the SSW D.III ? Dwayne
