goody...a few more Poulis...I'm in with those...

really appreciate the effort on John's part to offer GWF-032 with the generic base as I don't collect the Schneider...

I wouldn't buy the GWF-01A with the Schneider color scheme on his base...

so thanks John...

I like the pilots ^&cool

I like the pilots ^&cool

Me too. Great poses, but I prefer them when they are based on real personalities. Just my own preference.

FRENCH PILOT,

We have two French pilots now and but one plane for them to fly. This may mean that there's another French model airplane on the way. Hope these tea-leaves don't let me down!:wink2:

IMO, there's a decent rationale for Jenkins offering generic pilot figures. I suggest this because some collectors may have purchased a model (or two), and either didn't like the associated figures or missed out on the sets before each went SO. The generic figures above offer them an alternative. Jenkins has actually done something similar to this before, BTW, with GGC-06:

Really like -06 as it's such a jack-of-all-trades for KotS collectors.

Boy, I do hope that is true. Guynemer's Spad is LONG overdue.:wink2: --Al

Too much to take in in one go......
I see that "GWB61 IS THE FIRST OF 8 FIGURES DESIGNED TO ACCOMPANY THE GWB-60 SET" (Old Bill Bus) and "GWB51 IS THE FIRST OF 11 FIGURES DESIGNED TO ACCOMPANY THE GWB-50 SET" (Thorneycroft AA Gun){eek3}. I haven't even started on GWB-30 (26cwt HOWITZER) and crew yet!{eek3}{eek3}
