Tailplane and wing markings for Hetzenberg (top) and the Margravate, based on national colors.

Only a short, non-fiction post today as I have a lot of visa stuff to take care of.

A recent article on aerial wargaming by Tim Beresford led me to speculate on the state of affairs between my imaginations circa 1916. In my mind's eye I can see dashing Hetzenbergers in their Spatz-Beerkatz XIII fighters speeding to intercept the dastardly Margravate Krümpler bombers, while above them the nefarious Pink Baron von Rightrötten lurks in his triplane between the clouds...
Of course another factor in this flight of fancy (pardon the pun) is the Li'l Flying Fokkers range at Old Glory (UK) designed and produced by Paul Cotton of the New Buckenham club. I bought a couple of these resin and white metal models to build as a birthday present for my future brother-in-law. Their construction is no more fiddly than any other kit, and once painted they really look the business. Suitable rules are readily available, and there are plenty of resources on color schemes and markings, which can be adapted to a home-grown pattern for imaginary air forces.

All this is so much pie in the sky at the moment, but I can dream...
