No wonder they fouled those up their not real aircraft. But how could Squadron foul up a book on the Fokker Dr.I so badly? *Oh yeah, they relied on 40 year old information from a guy who just wanted the money.

I must have missed that one. But then there is the new Wings Channel. I don't get that one.

Duckman;

I have often thought that the X that Herr Doktor Von Humbrol railed against in his memoirs (Vol IV The Weimar Years) was Schmirzl. I can see why the Good Herr Doktor had it in for him. The good Herr Doktor challenged X to a duel (most likely about Dymphna) but the cad sent along a gang of crossdressing Berlin cutthroats instead. Shortly after this the Good Herr Doktor left Berlin for good swearing never to return.

There is also a lot of evidence that Eduard Revell was in fact an Eastern European emigre who dealt in illegal photo etch on the black market. Addicted modellers had to pay triple the normal price for PE in order to satisfy their AMS fix. it was well known that if they didn't pay up the crossdressing thugs would turn up and smash their beloved unfinished projects.

I have often wondered who it was who swung that fateful lead pipe that night on the Rodenplatz...I have a theory that it was in fact the Good Herr Doktor himself! Yes! This kind and gentle man was driven to rage over X's (Schmirzl) taunts that he would include the Good Herr Doktor in his memoirs (including photos of the chicken). I believe that the Good Herr Doktor planned to dump his body in a nearby sewer but was disturbed by a bunch of Schmirzl's crossdressing thugs. Police and newspaper reports of Schmirzl's death concur that the evidence for the Zeppelin story was given to them by an unknown distinguished bearded man with a Viennese accent who disappeared before he could be questioned fully. This description fits the Good Herr Doktor to a tee!

What evil taunts he must have endured at the hands of Schmirzl! What depravity this animalistic Silesian must have subjected hias beloved Dymphna and the chicken to!

I don't blame the Good Herr Doktor. No, I want to congratulate him! X (Schmirzl) was a byword for unusual cruelty throughout the seedy fleshpots of Berlin. Poor Dymphna what she must have endured! Still I blame her for the Good Herr Doktor's murderous rage...Was there no limit to her wanton depravity (just ask the chicken!)

All the Best

Neil,

I talked to the chicken, and when he replied, just before I ate him, it scared the H out of me. I ate him anyway.

Someone is adding to my posts. I didn't use those smiley things. But it was a good addition.

The times were so much simpler when you bought the kit, you took the kit home, and with glue, you built it and added it to your very favorite collection, where everything you walked passed that model, you saw yourself sitting in the cockpit, revving the engine/s, taking off and downing the foes plane, mg's blazing, while manuavering to keep him in my sights, and all the while holding my wingman had my 6.

He (I assume you are referring to the chicken) said " please don't eat me, please don't eat me," I ate him anyway.
