Hello Douglas,
being pretty irritated that someone even knows about this »youthful misdeed« of mine ... »Eugen" was in 1/250 and I worked on the model design from 1975 to 1980. Finally published in 1996 by cfm, followed by a re-designed (Pongratz) version in 2003 ... enclosed some black an white pictures from the 1977 test-assembly and two pictures (© Jochen Halbey) from 1997 ....
The 1996 issue is sold out since twenty years... and due to the fact that this »Eugen«-cardmodel was drawn in the traditional way, there is neither a digital backup nor stored offset films ore printing plates. Of course my old drawings on ultra-heavy cardboard still exist ... as a reminder of old days... Maybe it is interesting to know that originally this design was ordered by "Wilhelmshavener" early 1975, so the complete design, the overall »look-and-feel« was very, very close to the style of Gerhardt Neubert (Designer for Wilhelmshavener until 1969).
(sorry Ricardo - enough with this - back to the ERP)
