Very interesting project with a lot of unusual subjects. I would really like to see some of them finished.

I haven't even completed the list yet Stefan😉 You're right about the unusual subjects too. That's what made me decide it would be really interesting to do. Going to be difficult to find some as well. Will have to scratch build at some point.

Very interesting project, I'm also planning to make planes from Baltic states (and tanks) from interwar period. May I ask You about something? Martinsyde F.4 Buzzard from Omega Models have decals for one or for both Lithuanian planes?

@Krzysztof T It only has decals for one aircraft as I recall. If you're after Lithuanian decals, the two best sources I found were Blue Rider who have decals and an excellent CD-ROM History for all of the Baltic States, and also Arctic Decals who produce a number of very rare civilian aircraft decals.

Thank you very much for response. Fortunately I already have Blue rider decals. I bought Buzzard from AZ models with Latvian decals, unfortunately those are useless, so I was thinking about making Lithuanian one instead, I can mask and paint crosses, but descriptions are impossible for me to do so, I hoped Omega kit have two variants of them, for both planes.
PS. Fortunately there was a nice book about Lithuanian Air Force published in Polish.

I have that book. I have scanned the book and when I get time, I will try and translate it into English. Unfortunately, I'll have to do it with Google translate so it will take a while!

So You have Rezmer book? That's surprising. Unfortunately from my experience Google Translate works not well with Polish and if you have no experience with Slavic language, then it will be even harder. I can help if you need some informations and such.

Yes. I bought it online from a UK supplier. I've done some test translations and they're not too bad. There are the occasional words or phrases that it can't figure out, so if I can get help with them every once in a while it would be very much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything else I can do in return.

Looks like a new D.501 (so D.501L too I guess) is coming from AZ Model: britmodeller.com/for..nd-wishes/?p=2152455
