Who is the author?

Igor Donchick.

I have this set as well James. Excellent profiles and info...love the art style. My only complaint is the sections given to a what if 1946 + alternative history. The second volume has some 20 pages dedicated to it.
I am just not interested in more than 2 pages of this. I must not be alone as his latest volume backed this off and he acknowledged that he may have given the subject to many pages. I would rather he increased the Tiger cammo section.

I concur. The next volume looks interesting with the Frei Korps markings, but I am not sure I want to pay the price. I am happy with the 5 books I have though.

Told ya I got WW1 aircraft on my mind. Some bling for the SE.5 and Sopwith Triplane. Lot of folks don't realize that the Sopwith Triplane was in service before the Fokker Dr.1. Those Fokkers avoided the Tripes whenever a mashup started.

The Fokker DR.1 was developed because of the Sopwith Triplane. As to the seat belts, I have found that the HGW WW2 belts are quite a bit oversized and won't use them anymore. Yeah the "cloth" and PE bit is a great idea, but they messed up on the sizing.

I have been wondering how the Takom Hortens compare to the ZM kit.

I went to Andy's yesterday and took a look around. I didn't know that Das Werk had put out a 1/16th Pak 40 kit. That is what I was needing for my 1/16th Sdkfz 251/1. I also ordered the 1/16th scale Sdkfz 251/22 with the mounted Pak 40. Hopefully Memphis mail won't F this one up.

There is also a 1/16th Sdkfz 250 that is only $80. Might order it in a month, we shall see.
