  6. Hi Thank you very much. We used to discuss each project with my father. We have been trying to finish our German aircraft sub collection during the lastest years. We discuss about the following projects (series) taking into account these points: The information available (books, magazines, photos, etc.) Numbers of kits availables in our stock Size of the models due to lack of physical space in our display cabinets Every now and then we try to do some less known model, most of the time a single model series or a very short one. Right now we have 1277 models done with the new standard (painted with airbrush, etc). Our goal is to build All the aircraft types that flew with the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and all the Commonwealth (Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Rhodesia, etc.) in the time frame between 1937 and 1947, in all major versions (including field modifications, different or special markings, different armaments, different scheme colour camouflage, etc.) which were used in all the operational theatres or special operations. And to include also Lend-Lease and captured enemy types under British markings. We also try to include in each series the aircraft which were flown by Ango-Argentine pilots, most of them had very particular nose arts” Yes, we have all of then thanks to our friend Phill Cater. Moreover, Piet have been helped a lot for all of our SAAF aircraft models as well others SAAF Hystorians like Stefaan Bouwer. Thank you very much but it is out of our collection scope. Nice, You have done a really good job on it. Cheers Santiago
