Message-ID: Without exaggeration I have sent the item below to the List four times in vain hope, damn if I know why it will not get postted but such things happen at times, so here for my next to last try... Il'ya Muromets Colors It is not often that an item turn up on this List that require specific information which is not readily available in one or more publications, books etc... Since this is one of those situations permit me to reply. For the most part when the IM was built and finished the material applied to the fabric for tightening, strengthening, weatherproofing etc... was often improved upon, or in the case of the military versions required to be changed from the original French or British finish used. Likewise the fabric used on the original IM was different than latter fabric used on military versions and subsequently finish and material combined to produce various shades from dark cream to light brown depending on what was used how old it was etc... Only later perhaps late 1916-17 did a light gray color come into use, this according to the Doyen of early Russian aircraft Harry Woodman. Later military versions had squadron and factory numbers positioned on the craft as well as the Imperial pennants emblazoned on the fuselage body. The best overall account of the IM/EVK was in the June 1990 Windsock Volume 6 Number 3 by H. Woodman. It covers all aspects and has the required line drawings needed for improving the plastic kit. For those of you who are not aware of Mr. Woodmans talents, he is an expert modeler and wrote a concise book on the subject, unfortunately it is out of print. Speaking of expert modelers the best IM model built to date was the one Robert Rice built from scratch for NASM in 1/32 (3ft wing span!) scale for the centennial celebration of Igor I. Sikorsky's birthday. cjb (*<* PS. I have word from Harry Woodman that his book "Early Aircraft Armament" is available from THE AVIATION BOOK SHOP, 656 Holloway Road, London N19 3PD, England.

I don't know what that last message was. The only 1/72nd Nie.11's I know of are (in order of appearance) Classic Plane, Merlin, TC Berg (a real gem), and Rosemont (the second best in the bunch - sorry Barry). Also, Rosemont makes conversion parts (fuselage, cowl and upper wing) that you can use in conjunction with the Revell/ESCI Nie.17. However, with Rosemont making their own, I would *not* "waste* a Nie.17 (see my article on the web site - plug plug). > I'm going to try to mail order it from Lone star just to see if > this mail order thing really works between USA and Portugal. > Hope I don't get tangled up in customs...

Well, I'm willing to be the focal point/counter, if wanted. I would suggest this, that way we cut down on "bandwidth" on the list. Another thing to think of: do you want to make any "overage", for those currently on vacation (if those exists) and/or new members? So, if you want a button/pin, email me *direct* (mbittner@juno.com), and let me know how many you're willing to buy, if it comes down to cost. Unless John wants to be the focal point.

For starters (plug plug) get my article off the web page. It will help if you're interested in "correcting" it. Now, if you don't correct it, it still looks like a Nie.17, so it's up to you.

She presented me with some old copies of 'Flight' magazine from January 1920 bless her heart. Now, not having seen these in the shop and, having them brought in like the latest copy of SMI, it felt like getting these hot off the press. I keep kicking myself to remind me that I cannot pop over the channel to see the Paris Air Show as reviewed. Can I really not try out that SPAD, built by Levasseur or criticise the Caproni company for only bringing a four year old Triplane bomber to the show. Should I call the phone operator and ask connection to Mayfair 5803 as I wish to talk to somebody at Sopwith about a Dove 2-seater, or excitingly maybe I'd get through to Willesden 2455 and the British Nieuport Co about their Nighthawk - made famous in war and now being produced as a sporting plane and express mail carrier. Tell you what guys, if I can make contact, who wants to add to my order to the Aircraft Disposal Company Ltd, who are offering for immediate delivery ex-depot, Bristol Fighters for 800 pounds each, (fitted with 300hp Hispano Suiza engines.) I've got a big garden, I could probably get five or six on the lawn! Who needs 1/48 let alone 1/72. Oh, and I am going to speak to the chap looking for a job in the Situations Wanted column, who says he has had five years experience flying SE5s and Snipes etc - any questions, any of you want me to ask him?

Fit is good (for Revell) and it scales out pretty much spot on. A LOT of details will need to be added and reworked. There was an excellent article on this kit in a past issue of FSM. I'm at work right now, but I'll see if I can find it when I get home, unless someone else comes up with it first.
