Early German Aces

Well I dropped the proper hints in December and got the Osprey Early German Aces book for Christmas. More great work Greg, lots of photos I had not seen before, and more good stories in the text..

Thumbs up Yep

Bought it in Las Vegas last month.....my wife thought I was nuts sitting one evening in our hotel room in the Luxor Casino pyramid reading the thing cover to cover.

Great work, Greg. Highly recommended.

Eduard's coming out with a new tool 1/48 Fokker E.III in 2007?

Cheers,

Dackel

I had ALSO planned on purchasing their 1/48 Fokker... but last I checked on their website they'd cancelled it!

My Thanks

Hi Guys,

Many, many thanks for the kind words. Russ, if the book inspires you to more superb paintings, then it was worth all the heartache.

Greg
