PS. I can wait a little while too ,as I have 35 or so mostly 1/48 but halfa dozen 1/32 WWI aircraft needing to be built with only 5 projects started.Plus I'm being paid to build tamiyas 1/16 kubelwagen.Nice kit by the way the best in any scale.I had to bust into my WNW LVG and built the engine, to see how easily the plastic can be worked and its nice not to hard not to soft.Just right.

In some of the photos that have been on this site (notably of the Roland, Pfalz & Gotha) they show a complete brass photoetch fret and that includes the gun jackets.

I enjoy those Aurora kits: they are simple, the fit is fairly good, and the finished product looks fairly decent.

back to the actual thread; in rereading the latest WS article , 2 sentances by Peter Jackson jump out;
"...We are not driven by market forces- we just want..." pg 17
and "...We're not making these kits to make money - ..." pg 19

All the more reasons to understand the choices and dedication to quality, THANK YOU SIR !!!!!!!

Yup, reinforces my post of a few days ago: "...not driven by market forces...not making these kits to make money..." equals "They'll be here when they get here." And not a minute sooner, I'll wager!
