THINKING BIG
Included are a two-piece aluminum engine cowl (with cable groove),
laser-cut wood parts, stamped metal parts, precut plywood panels
and plywood wing covering (35 pieces). Also included are dummy
engine cylinders and Spandau machine guns (from Williams Bros.),
lacing cord for stitching and cable bindings, seatbelt harness and fit-
tings, laminated rudder and elevator outlines and functional landing
gear—and many other parts too numerous to mention. Glenn also
showed me a kit for his newest design, the unusual and seldom mod-
eled Fokker D-VI. It is basically a biplane that uses the Fokker
triplane fuselage, and this kit should be out in August. For the ulti-
mate WW I airplane, Glenn Torrance Models is the place to look.

Glenn Torrance Models raised the bar in kit quality
and completeness with its Fokker D-VIII and Dr.l
kits. A Fokker D-VI kit will be out soon.
There was so much more at the 2002 WRAM
show, but I have only so much space in the
column. Do yourself a favor and pencil in
the last weekend in February 2003 on your
calendar, and try to attend this Northeast
modeling extravaganza. You'll be glad
you did.
