Acknowledgements

Of course our thanks must go to Wingnut Wings, not only for producing such a wonderful kit of the Snipe, but also for so thoughtfully extending their coverage into the post-war period for the first time. We now have the prospect of supplementary parts being prepared by them so that we can at last produce models of the Bristol Fighter and Airco Ninack in the colourful post war schemes as well. Rest assured that when the parts (either separate or in a specific boxing) are available, we will be producing decals to match!

Now how about a Gloster Grebe? Wingnuts? anyone??
