Useful renaissance parcels have come in, remarkably fast. Some for Pavia, some for Lepanto.

I noticed that one of the Sony Freeview channels has now become Sony Xmas Movies, yet we're still in Spetember and Autumn is only just upon us :(. Also having just come back from ASDA, they had a pallet full of Quality Street being put on the shelves. Am I the only one who wishes that this sort of Xmas stuff would start on 1st December?

I moved to a Buddhist country hoping to escape Christmas. Hmmm, trusting fool.

Christmas will have been in full swing (subject to Covid) for about 25 days already in the Philippines ;D

Oof that's far too long, I say lets do away with the 12 days of Christmas and reduce it down to the 12 hours of Christmas...

One thing about them, they are a difficlut assembly job. Also dont do what I did - bought the British and geman starter packs and opened all the bags into one box for each. Certain I have Camels with Pup wings  :'(

It doesn't help that they come unlabelled. I also have several with uneven wings, and the undercarriage can be a bit frustrating (both personally and on the models) but from certain angles they look OK.

I did the British first - which was easy. Then the Germans ... which was a different kettle of Albatrossi.

Great stuff but what rules to use for so many aeroplanes in the combat?
