Beautiful work Kevin. For some reason, I have always thought the Sterling was a very cool airplane. I really like the Bloch and Amiot too. Mike

Arrigo, the British bomber minis are nice but some of the seam lines were a bit large and the .303 cal machine guns on some of the models either didn't make it through the casting process or were broken off during shipment. I thought about replacing them with tiny bits of wire but decided against it. The vertical stabilizer on the Stirlings is a separate piece. I pinned it to the fuselage for extra support. I would've preferred the tail be cast already attached to the fuselage. The fuselage on the Amiot is thin and bends easily. It had to be straightened but that wasn't a big problem. The French bombers' landing gears were a bit of a challenge due to the small pieces. The Gotha was a nice single piece casting. I recommend them and would buy them again. Kevin
