1:18 SPAD XIII @ Aikens, and other WWI-era

Just a quick heads-up on something I had never come across before:
http://www.aikensairplanes.com/TMC%20MO ... c-aspr.htm
They also have some near-1:18 items:
1:20 Sparrowhawk http://www.aikensairplanes.com/TMC%20MO ... sf9cte.htm
1:20 P-12 http://www.aikensairplanes.com/TMC%20MO ... ap12te.htm
Those are mahogany models, which in the case of WWI planes I think works well as a medium
They also have some others using silk canvas over wood, some of which are bit above or below 1:18:

All are a bit pricey, but I thought any WWI buffs out there might want to know. And I think for what you get (hand -crafted and -painted wood models), the prices do seem fair.
