    paul fisher got a reaction from Rick Griewski in Macchi Fighters book.....Oh, my!   
    Not really sure where to put this as I've never reviewed a product before but the new book from Crecy on the Macchi 200, 202 and 205 fighters arrived yesterday and simply blew me out of my socks.I was deeply into building Italian aircraft in 1/72 scale back in the 70's and 80's when I could see that well and lately my interest in trying again in a larger scale has been growing so I went ahead and bought this book. We had nothing even remotely this good to go from and the Italian publications of the day suffered from poor photo reproduction and paper.
     
    I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of detailed information, drawings and best of all clear period photos that really show the design and construction of these beautiful 'planes .One thing I note in particular is that none of the paint applications are the same from 'plane to 'plane, even in the same scheme the motions of the human arm and hand are visible in the random application of the markings.A feast for the smoke ring aficionado.I am already searching for a better airbrush!
     
    Since losing a fifty year accumulation of books  a few years ago I have been extremely picky about what I have replaced.This is certainly a book worth the modest price and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about these gorgeous aircraft.

    CF-100 Clunk would be top of my list.

    There are a number of Brits on this site and, although I don’t know any of you from Adam’s house cat, I tend to like you all.  Along with everyone else, I read today that the Princess of Wales is in peril.  No matter what you may think of the monarchy, this most lovely and  elegant young woman is, to me, the absolute picture of England and the UK.  If someone were to ask me to personify England, I would not point to Big Ben or the London Bridge, I would point to Kate Middleton because she reminds of every young English rose I ever met as a much younger man.  I hope all goes well; if I knew how to send good vibes, I would.  To my mind, she is as close to the peerless Queen Elizabeth as you all are likely find.  And that says a lot because Elizabeth is a hard act to follow.
