Even more useful resource material chaps.
I found the Tanks of particular interest just now.

If any of the WW2 fans are interested in pushing into 'what-if' scenarios, this website has photos and 3-views of a huge range of Luftwaffe prototypes:

Hello fellow pilots,
Should anyone wonder how to (re)paint his model, following webpage could be useful. Huge library of aircraft paintigs:

I hope you will find it useful. Enjoy!
GENERIC Question: Who makes the best decals?
I am not fond of micro cutting close to the design and prefer the traditional decal with a clear layer.
Also not fond of fragile decals breaking up into shards at the mere touch.
Received a catalogue from the Squadron Shop and they had a new item listed. It is a BoB 1/72 4 plane kit. Hurricane/Spitfire/Me-109/He111. Not sure if it is totally new kit or just new for them. price was $46.00.
