Sorry for the long absence, guys. Life is running and I'm trying hard to keep up. But all's fine, no worries.

So, here's what our Czech friends had to offer us in the past four months:

April Leaflet

May Leaflet

That "Hornet Legacy" boxing caught my eye. Really nice decals!
June Leaflet

And last but not least a Catalina for the rescue:
July Leaflet

Interesting P-40 schemes in the May issue, colorful Hornet schemes too!

Normally I'd be all over that Hornet but one, it's the Kinetic kit and two, Eduard's new decals. I'll pass.

Id take the decal sheet instead of the Legacy Hornet kit

I want the Mig-21F-13 Weekend Edition. But why didn’t they include VPAF markings? Lotsa 1/48 Bf-109, P-40, Zero, and Spitfire goodies in there too

Never enough time in the day or money in the bank for all of this stuff…

As of late, Eduard has been pulling out tons of schemes of Spitfire, Bf-109s, Fw-190s, Migs, & Zero kits. Gets a little nauseating after awhile. I'd like to see something different for a change. Skyraiders, Skywarriors, F-106, F-86, Thunderchiefs, Skyhawks, A-7 Corsairs, etc...

That makes NO sense at all. The Mig-21F-13 was a HUGE part of the air war in Vietnam!

Exactly. At least in the beginning of Rolling Thunder. They were replaced by later variants due to attrition losses. But the Viets and the Arabs were the main ones to take the F-13 to war.
