I changed my mind. I found the new Albie C.III in my LHS this morning. It is really hard for me to walk away from an Albatros.

What's happening? We're just as expensive as a 400+ part armor model!
I guess WW I doesn't move as well as armor kits! I just paid $65.00 at the
LHS for the new dual combo Eindecker from Eduard. Maybe its a good thing
that Wingnuts isn't banging out the kits, I just can't help myself!
How many commitments do we need to get this off the ground? Gotta dust
off that Hi Tech Breguet.

That's not a bad price at Carl . For me here in the great white north add another 20 bucks on to that . It is hard saying no to an albbie isn't it ! My is on order , just waiting for it to come in .
Dwanye , we still need two more guy's to stand up to the plate and join the GB .
Do we have any more takers on this ?

Hi Terri!
joining a campaign is something that tempts me a lot, but I fear the time constraint.
When are you thinking of make it end? You see, I have other project goin on and I fear to overstretch myself...
ciao

Ok Tuomas and Terri,
count me in then.
I don't the markings yet, but usually I stick with what's in the box, which, by the way, has not yet arrived
Those group build of F2B in the WNW section are really inspiring, I'm trying to learn from them as much as possible and try to reverse some on the Eduard kit...

Hi,
the Bristol F2B I was waiting for has arrived yesterday!
It is Eduard # 8126: what a beauty it is!
It may be dated, but when I opened the box I really was Impressed.
The bird is BIG!, 4 sprues packed with fine details, which on first impression seems perfectly moulded.
Nice decals, precise and perfectly allineated, which colours seems realistic (what a difference from the one in the DH2 kit I am dealing now...).
Really a good kit!
I think I'll enjoy the build even if it will be challengin, I guess. Fortunately I'll do it in the capaign: so I'll ge a lot of good advices from you guys (and girl!)
ciao for now
