    Revell Fokker Dr1 1/28

    Hi all! Just a quick question, a friend bought the Revell Fokker Dr1 1/28 and he wonders whether there is any photo-etched or aftermarket kits out there for it... A quick search at Hannants and e-bay turned up nothing... Anyone knows of any kits available? Many thanks guys!

    Resistance Groups - How Effective?

    Resistance Groups - How Effective?

    Unfortunately there are a lot of slaps in the face for France regarding a lot of aspects that they prefer to forget about during the second world war and this is one of them... I am not arguing that there were people that fought and died against the Germans and I meant no disrespect to their...

    Resistance Groups - How Effective?

    Hi all, particularly in Greece where I am from, the resistance groups were divided between several political factions each serving it's own hidden agenda (royalists, democrats, communists etc). Hence as early as 1943 the focus shifted from hitting German/Italian/Bulgarian targets to fighting...
