A dealer's email titled "Hobby Master Cracks Open its August Cache"" had the following info about new 1/72 WW I fighters:
"According to our distributor, an Asian-based "no-name" manufacturer has crafted a new line of 1:72 scale diecast aircraft that are based upon some of the most iconic planes of the Great War. Two German aircraft comprise the first wave - a Fokker Dr. 1 that was flown by the "Red Baron", Manfred von Richthofen, and an Albatross D.V that was piloted by WWI ace, Paul Baumer.
Priced at just $20, these sharp-looking birds feature wire rigging, a display stand and a pilot figure, something you'd come to expect from a more expensive range of military replicas. Look for the first warbirds to touch down in early September."
