  1. The second volume has been out for awhile now. I believe it was an Amazon purchase.

     

    I have both titles so far and my only gripe is the lack of proper proofing for the self-published series. I see a number of errors. However, this doesn't take away from the important historical information provided. It is just that the errors take away from the books and "cheapen" the effort in my opinion. That won't prevent me from adding all the titles in the future as I do support this work.

  2. I believe that we have been seeing a decline in the viability of the local hobby shop for some time now. I know I have seen a number of closures where I live. However, I believe that due to the fact that there were far to many locations vying for limited consumer dollars. So, perhaps "the market" correcting itself.

     

    With that being said, I think that we may see less mail order/on line shopping as the cost of shipping is biting into that option. That factor can only help the local store IMHO.

  3. Well...

     

    Gaspatch sells an Hs 123 B in 48th scale that has Galland markings. At the time with 4(SG)/LG 2 in Poland. The B release does include markings for five operational aircraft. FWIW, they also market the A variant, w/o Galland markings. The B series is discussed in The Henschel Hs 123 published by Valiant, Henschel Hs 123 by Kagero and Henschel Hs 123 by MMP books. All state that the B did see production, albeit in limited numbers.

     

    The B varied from the A in having larger areas of the wing and ailerons in metal instead of fabric.
