Gentlemen,
tomorrow I'm going to a tournament in Pisa.
I'll fly 450/17 Dreidecker of Ltn. Josef Jacobs, Jasta 7. Will he gain?

P.S.: a special thanks to Max Headroom, who "provided" Jacob's card!

Nice job on the plane Francesco - "hals und bein gebrock" as they say in Germany
(excuse my high school German!) let us know how you get on...

Thank you! I'm not very happy of the crosses, I'l see if I can find some decals to make them.
Any suggestions?

I couldn't tell from the picture - I always find them hard to paint so avoid it if I can... you should try doing roundels !
I did some on a friends 15mm Horsa glider - ended up doing the centre spot with a cut down cotton bud and stamping it on.

WoW in Italy appears to be more popular than in most other countries. I know the Italian origins of the game but it still is a surprise to me to see/hear of so many WoW gamers in Italy.

I am playing in Mark Gibbons' PBeM game (it is a huge 40 aircraft game; extremely well organized and conducted using minis and photographs of an actual board) with a fellow from Massa Cararra, Italy (Paolo) who is also going to the WoW competition in Pisa. He is very, very good; be careful Francesco. :)

Hi Francesco.
Dom does a mean set of decals and crosses, plus transfers for various Jasta's. He is very competitive on price too. WWW.domsdecals.com

good luck, and your crosses look better than the ones on my repainted albatross (granted my albatross has maltese crosses, which are harder than the balkans cross on your triplane, but I still would have painted em crooked no matter what kind of cross they were :D)

That's what I thought myself. It would be nice to have a thread where everyone could post his photo.
Anyways, if you wish to know me better, you can seek for me on Facebook, my nick is Ducalutra there as well.

I am with you on that. I know that we can post pictures in our personal area, but how often do we access that. A group picture file would be good.
