Dear Collectors! I would like to thank you again for visiting my site during this year! I hope you enjoyed getting fresh news (for the most part of the year;-) and details concerning aircraft models!? I promise to fill the November/December gap soon - sorry for that! Looking forward to your feedback during the next year and to the news at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (5th to 10th February 2009)! Perhaps we can meet at Nuremberg or Dietenhofen during this time! I wish joy and happiness not only at Christmas but every day of the New Year 2009 to all of you:-)

Happy collecting and best regards from Kirchhellen, Germany

Peter
