There was an article in FineScale Modeler several years ago about Banfield's Brandenburg CC. In fact it was about scratchbuilding that aeroplane in 1/72, and it was written by the late Martin O'Conner, author of A ir Aces of the Austro Hungarian Empire, 1914-1918. The book is an excellent reference, with plentiful color, but the FSM backissue would be a bit cheaper. Hope this helps. . . . FWIW, I'm on a Wintel, and I'll model any scale, 1/72 to 1/24. Anything with the wind in the wires. Have Fun!!

The information that I have indicates that the leading edge of the 24/27 was plywood. However, in examining photos, the rib tape on the wings appears to extend over the plywood giving the impression of ribs. That is why I took the rib all of the way to the edge on the Rosemont kit. Thanks, Tim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 15:05:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Patrick Padovan To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Nieuport 27 Wings Message-ID: Greetings, Tim: Well, exactly. I'm less concerned with what the original wing was made OF, than of how the finished result looked, and yours looks like what I see in photographs. I was speculating as to why the designer(s) of the Hora kit made theirs as they did, and I'm sure the ply leading edge was what they were trying to imply (no pun intended), but I think they over did it. Your Roseparts wing looks more like the real thing, in my opinion. Ciao!

If you care to send me your "snail mail" address, I'll send you a copy of the article in FSM (as soon as I dig it out of the reference pile. . .) You've seen the O'Conner book--great! Have you seen the FMP book on Austro/Hungarian Army Aircraft? If that book doesn't answer your A/H questions, you're sick (like me--cough! cough!). Have Fun!!
