Folks,

Hello and good day.

Okay, this has sat on the back burner long enough.

A while back (okay, _several_years_ago_) I took over the domain name of William Moore's old site and he graciously sent me the copies of the content he'd worked up for it. I spent some time getting everything sorted out, reformatted, posted, and linked onto the new site. That was a buncha work and I got burnt out plowing through it all. Then I got distracted with life (new job, loss of new job, romance, new job, newer new job, newer newer new job, end of romance - you know, the usual) so the site work got paused.

Well, time to get it unstuck.

And for that I'd appreciate your help.

I got things up and running the best I could. But I know there's broken links or incorrectly labeled stuff on it and I'd appreciate your keen eyes giving it the once over twice.

I'd also appreciate new content for the place. There's been progress in the Luft 46 world since William first posted many of those original articles so any new news would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for kit reviews, build reviews, industry news, and so on.  All Luft 46 related - and by that I mean the sort of stuff which is the bread and butter of all you Whiffers here.

So, please drop on by my site and make comment - either here or to me directly.

I had always wanted one of the Revell Germany Arado Ar 555 flying wings but I was never able to find one even when they were being produced.

Wooksta,

Excellent, that's just the sort of info I'm after.

Bear in mind, that the majority of the info up on the site is from William's original content and thus dates back to the late 90's.  I know there's been progress since then!

Aside from the technical corrections, I'd love to see updates and further detailing of what's already on there as well.  This, and reviews and write-ups of the newer stuff as well!

I'm looking for updates and fresh content here folks!  I'll take care of the formating and such - just send it in and once it gets posted it'll have your name on it!

M1,

And given the results you've shared with us here you should have ample subject matter to work up some articles from and contribute there as well!

So, what are you waiting for!  Get me that content son!  Get me that content!

:)

G'day Madoc ,

glad to see the site is back up - if I ever have time I'll send you some stuff. Most of the last 18 months has been taken up with doing stuff for John Baxter's revised edition of his first book - there's a few V-1's , a Me 328 , a Fruitbat Ar e381 and a BV P193 in there of mine. As I've already signed up for a few more kits for the next one my time is evaporating.

Wooksta I totally agree with your comments - some info was supplied by reviewers and I was not always able to check this as I did not have the kit myself. I think there was a couple of your kits in there. As the site was added to old info was not always updated and then you had things like Dragon's AR 234P which was mooted for years then finally came out after I'd stopped doing updates. It's a bit of a dog's breakfast I finally stopped  as the work involved with doing a proper rewrite was too daunting especially as my kids were young.

I hope to see a few of you at Telford on the Sat. Only 5 1/2 weeks till we leave for Europe but who's counting :D

If you see any Revell 1/72 Heinkel UHU nightfighter models over there, could you get me two and when you return I'll fully reimburse you? I want to make a four-engine,
