It's been far too long since we've seen Peter Allen's stunning aircraft profiles, so it's a great pleasure to announce a new Flitzer Special with a fantastic set of German WW2 paper projects.

Many thanks to Merlin for getting this up on site so-o-o-o Quickly.
I only sent the zip file yesterday afternoon.

Now that is what I call service...

I'm ready to start the next batch but can't decide whether to do another set of German WW2 profiles or another one of WW2 British ones.


Once again Many many thanks to Rowan.

Cheers
Peter

Peter, looks absolutely great - as always. It is great inspiration for my Luft '46 projects. I have the Me 1101, Horten wing, Triebvogel etc. in my stash.

Thanks for sharing

Have you ever considered to make book with all your profiles and short histories of the designs? I know this would be "unscientific" and based largely on speculation. But I think it could still be interesting for many - especially considering the interest there is in experimental or luft '46 kits.

To save cost you might sell it as a PDF file online. Just a thought...

Hi Jesper,
glad you liked them. Makes doing them even more worthwhile.

On publishing them...in the past a number of members have encouraged me to do the same, and I actually enquired at a few publishers but all turned me down flat.

I have no plans other than to keep on doing them, posting them here and on my web-site. Although producing them myself as you say, as pdf on-line might be a good idea if I could find the time...lol.

Worth thinking about.

Many thanks again.

Cheers
Peter

Hi Dave
I'll try my best to prevent the necessity for a bus and trucks lonely hearts club.

(I don't know what's wrong with me today...it's taken ages to type this. Keep getting typos...must take off my boxing gloves when I'm typing.)

All the best

That could be cool. I believe there is a "silent mass" that would be very interested.

Under all circumstances, thanks for your effort
