Hi Guys.
Great site, great links, great pics. Being new to it, i'm so happy i found it.
OK, about help i need. I'm building models of WWI
aircrafts for a while, mostly in 1/48 scale. Some time ago i added new twist to it. War time airplanes in post-war service, mostly in Polish Air Force colors. If any of you have some pictures or informations on the subject, and you feel like to shear, please do. Ther is very little
information out there, no books, no web sites on the theme. You are my only hope. Sorry, i don't have much to offer as a trade, but what i do have, is yours.
If you decide to help, E-mail me directly:
polbart@peoplepc.com.
Thanks in advance, Cezar.

Just another thought. You might like to sign up for the WWI Modelers Mailing List which you can find on the WWI Modeling Page via Forum Links. There are currently over 200 WWI modelers subscribed and a number of them are Polish. They would be well worth linking up with. Polish Model Magazines are first rate once you get around the language problem. Drawing usually have a complete set of sections and barrow loads of detail, both sadly lacking in the average North American or West European publication.
If you have a problem signing up for the list mail me off forum and I'll try and give you the Noddy guide.

cheers

I just did it. Problem with Polish magazines is avaliability in US.(I live here)I'm 100%Polish, so reading is not a big deal. Paying for shipping three times price of the magazine is. I tried to subscribe Skrzydlata Polska, $145.00 a year. Not a golden plated to.
Thanks anyway, Cezar,
