I have made such an inventory and be afraid, be very afraid!* Best Regards, Jason *Over 800 kits.

Brilliant job! Best Regards, Jason

Built is right. There can't have been much of the wooden components of the original airframe they were able to use. Inevitable with wooden aircraft, I suppose. That's why there are no original LaGG-3s nor La-5s around, flying or otherwise. Still nice to see a rebuilt Mosquito flying, no matter how much of it is original. Regards, Jason

You're very welcome! And thank you! The book should be available in April, according to the latest intel from my publisher. Best Regards, Jason

Every time I read about that smoothly wooden-fuselaged WWI German fighter with the 'V' interplane struts, or the later Czech jet trainer, I hear that in my head, or I even say it out loud, if no one else is about. Regards, Jason

Most impressive! I suppose I need to get started on my 1:1 scale Il-2 Shturmovik in resin. Regards, Jason

You've just given Tom an idea for his next project, after he finishes this one, and the 1/32nd scale Shackleton (actual project - nearly done)! Regards, Jason

Hopefully the book I'm the editor of will be a nice balance! Best Regards, Jason

Nice job on the Spad! Regard, Jason

It does look rather like a kit-bash of two completely different aircraft. A very interesting-looking aeroplane! Regards, Jason

Brilliant work on the Yak-3! Despite your problems with it, this is a kit I'd like to get (unless of course, ICM get to it first!). Just as an historical note, Soviet fighters very seldom had the flaps down on the ground. The control surfaces weren't always at neutral, but it does appear that normally the flaps were up. But yours is the exception and there's nothing wrong with that! Beautiful job! Regards, Jason

Excellent job on the Me 262, also one of my favourite aeroplanes! Welcome to the site! Best Regards, Jason

Blimey! That reminds me I need to change the year on my Tu-16 Badger book! Thanks for the unintended reminder, Kev! Best of luck with your publishing this year! Hopefully, I'll have two books published this year - my book on modelling, and my Tu-16 Badger book. Best Regards, Jason

As I recall, those Yak-1B are resin, aren't they, Dennis? Is the Yak-3 the Special Hobby kit? As you know, I can't get enough GPW Soviet kits. Regards, Jason

To go a bit off-topic for a moment, is that Falco in your avatar the ICM one? That's one I'm seriously considering buying, as I already have the Gladiator, I-153, I-16, and Yak-9T. All lovely kits. Regards, Jason
