... I hadn't realized that before. I did some searching and found pictures of the He-111B and the H. I always thought the H's wings were fairly elliptical,...
... Minicraft has released a 1/48 XF5F in both the long nose and short nose version. Classic Airframes have released a lot of 1930s USN aircraft. The box art...
Yeah, the early He-111s resemble nothing so much as a scaled-up, twin-engined version of the He-70. There've been claims over the years that the He-70 served,...
Bill - Heinkel found that the aerodynamic advantages of the elliptical wings were minimal, so went over to straight taper for production reasons. The first...

Burns has a good rendition of their history in the CVG. You need to ask his permission to use some of his stuff maybe? Christian Bryan <craviola880@...>...
Christian had broached the idea of "high" prices in the early '50s. In that regard, how have, for example, Revell prices fared over the decades? I would need...
IIRC, Revell prices had been on a slow, steady incline for most of my modeling career until the History Maker series hit the stands in 82-83. All of a sudden...
