Windsock Datafile, not available >to me, covered this machine. >Can anyone help!? >Thanks >Stephen Karver Steve, Garros' Morane 'L' had the early wing without the cut out it also had the early wider spaced undercarriage struts and was armed with a forward firing Hotchkiss. The photographs in the Datafile look as if the natural linnen had become very dark but this is probably due to lighting,type of film and age of the original prints. The national markings were on the wings only andhad very large blue centers. I at one time made a 1/48 kit in resin .metal,and vacform of the Morane 'L' before the Eduard kit came out. My wing did not have the cut out in it . I also supplied both early and late styles of undercarriage legs along with a much more comprehensive decal sheet ( 4 sheets). I almost forgot one thing , Garros' aircraft also had the trimmed prop with the wedge deflector plates on it , which I also included in my kit. If any af these items would help you in your project E-Mail me at my address and I will give you the prices and mailing address.

Message-ID: Well, the AvUsk web page is up, the address is: http://www.spokane.net/cgi-bin/tame/models/door.tam?cart=96D09fsf.gpu Ugh! I hope you can cut and paste it. At any rate, I was a little disapointed as there was no WWI content (that I could find), okay, there was a 1/48 Salmson from Czechmasters, but that is he wrong scale :) On the plus side, you can order direct from the web page (so it is probably good I didn't see any WWI stuff) using a secure credit card transaction. The page is very nice (graphically), and well laid out (if sparse in content). You can drop them an e-mail note from the web page, so I reccommend that we plead with them for more comprehensive lists of WWI Czechmaster resins online. Iguess I will have to spring the $2 for a catalog :( - Joe +==================================+===================================+ | Joseph R.

Our air wing got in a bit of trouble when we delivered invitations to a party by putting them inside the speedbrakes of an F-14 and popping out over downtown Perth. I have very fond memories of the hospitality shown Connie and Airwing 14. Thanks for a super time!

In my previous email I was looking for info / help on the Warbirds Sopwith Snipe. I used what suffices for a brain and said I wanted to model McCuddens aircraft and would add a Aeroclub Clerget. Of course everyone had a real guffaw or two at that statement I hope. What I meant was Major Barkers Aircraft, and yes the engine should have been a Bentley. I think I should reuse my old tag line again.

Is it a special paste command. This is more a function of your e-mail client than anything else. It looks like you might be using Netscape 2.0 as your mail client. If that is so, then Netscape automatically looks for URL "like" entities in your mail messages and shows them as links, e.g., http://www.bucknell.edu/~boeke/ Which is the address for my home page (which doesn't currently have an WWI content, except for a link to Allan's page, but will).
