The kit is indeed a Revell. My father made it years ago with kids at school and then at University. It was a bargain basement effort - the gun is silver because he had run out of black paint. It and the Spad were both very early efforts. Now he is retired he is spending my inheritance on WW1 aircraft from Wingnuts in NZ which he will make in the New Year - there is an SE5A 2/3rds complete, and an Eindecker, Pfalz and a Roland all in the pipeline. Wingnuts are apparently setting a benchmark in plastic kits. The word on the street is that their Fokker DVII is something very special. Though their kits are dearer they are very good and with free international postage they are all tempting.

Thanks for the interest and your kind words.

Jack, I would love to have the ability to build the wonderful Wingnuts kits that your father is building. There are many fine kits by Wingnuts and all I can say is that your inheritance is being well invested. Let me know if your father tackles the Gotha bomber. I would LOVE to see the end results when he finishes his kits. What great fun it must be to have that skill. -- Al
