Got rid of the Trumpeter Whirlwind, for which I bought someone's left over Cooper Details kit parts (resin, PE, and canopies) who tossed out the other vacuum-formed parts.
Strangely enough, the resin seemed to be poor copies of Cooper Details' items. Looking at the instructions, I see they credited Roy of Cooper Details.
Another nice Panther book for the collection:

Finally getting around to posting what I picked up over Christmas. Santa was good!
Did a little research on the Dottie Mae. It turns out the Dottie Mae was the last plane lost in the ETO during combat. At that she wasn't shot down but the pilot goofed and flew too low over a lake in Austria, clipped the water with the prop and crashed into the lake.
He survived and the Dottie Mae rested at the bottom of the lake until 2005. They found her and were able to rescue her from the lake bottom.
Here is how she sets today in Idaho. Most of the way done to be flown again.

Quite happy today. My parts arrived for my Pfalz D.XII so I can continue on with it. Also some extras for a couple of other WNW kits I want to start soon.
I also got the newest Mr, Black book on figure painting. These are a very cool series and the painters give colour call outs if you want to follow along. And finally after an almost 2 year wait I got the new Aviattic Ansaldo A.1 Ballillas. I will do a review in a little while.

Yahu was nice enough to send two of their latest, even before the packaging and instructions were ready!
This gives you an idea of the detail...

Nice James! I have all except To the Gates of Moscow. Who is the publisher? Also, How much did you pay for the Russian book? I take it you still don't read the language?

Hi Saul. The Rook book was $40.00 Cdn from amazon. To the Gates of Moscow is a brand new book I ordered before Christmas. I reviewed 3 other books from the publisher and will review this one. The publisher is Luftfahrt Verlag and I bought it direct but you can pre order at RZM here http://rzm.com/books/lfv/lfbk008.cfm
It is a phenomenal book and I am totally blown away by it.
