I have studied a possible conversion of the Hawk to an S.VII, and it would necessitate "chopping and chanelling" the fuselage, as well as scratching a new exhaust system. Do-able, but a lot of work. The Hawk is a good choice in some respects because it's cheap, thick and vaguely Spad-like. The wings can be reshaped, but won't be completely accurate (not a problem for me) without adding to them. I don't think Blue Max or Lone Star still have an S.VII in production, and I rarely pay collector's prices for my modeling materials.

If you are a 1/48 man why not try the Sierra W.29 vacform? I haven't progressed beyond cutting out and glueing together wings and tailplane so far but this will be a beaut - nicely detailed and spot-on scalewise.

Is this a >'reasonable' price? Seems generally within the established trading range for this kit - John Burns' Collectors' Value Guide gives a suggested value of the Aurora Breguet of $80 and up for all packaging variations and $40-$60 for the K&B edition but John tends to be a little high on the WW1 Aurora stuff - mostly a hangover from the "great WW1 aircraft drought" when nothing much was available in WW1 and folks were paying ridiculous prices just to get any WW1 aircraft to build. Edward and DML have pretty much ended that frenzy. Keep in mind that these values are collectors' values for pristine boxes, no missing or broken parts, no missing instructions or decals, etc. Any of these kinds of "defects" drops the collectors' value significantly. Obviously, perfectly fine "builder" kits which don't meet the highest collector standards are sometimes obtainable for much than the collectors' prices. If the kit you've been offered has some significant defects, ya' might try bargaining him down a few dollars by pointing the defects out. Yet, if ya' really want the kit, grab it at that price - the Breguet molds are gone and Glencoe ain't gonna be reissuing this one.

(By this I mean that all my previous 1/72nd WWI aircraft models have been Airfix or Revell.) It looks pretty nice, but the first thing out of the box were some springy plastic straps, which I put aside. Later, I started looking for the struts. There did not seem to be any. Wait...these flimsy plastic straps...could THESE be the contrail strut material I heard about on this list? Oh dear. Does anybody have alternative suggestions for some more sturdy material than these? Doesn't somebody make struts in brass or steel? What's the opinion of the list on these? Yours, James D.

I haven't seen it myself, so maybe a more worldly list member could shed a little light on the material for us. Are the cabane struts provided with the Br. XIV kit? If so, attach the top wing there, line it up and let it dry thoroughly. Then cut the plastic strut material to length and pop it in. Just make sure you preserve the alignment and gap set for the wings. Have Fun!!

Just make sure you preserve the alignment >and gap set for the wings. Aye, there's the rub - preserving the alignment. Especially with the Breguet XIV which has inverted "V" cabanes - preserving the alignment with that heavy wing perched on the two contact points of the cabanes is gonna be tough as the cabanes would provide no resistance to up and down rotation of the wing. If you try this approach, I'd suggest building jigs to support the upper wing and leaving the jigs in place until the interplane struts have been added and securely glued in place and dried. Myself, I've never had any luck at all using the contrail strut material - my one completely successful Pegasus model was the Junkers D.I which didn't require using the contrail struts at all - once I stole and cut down the landing gear off an Esci Albatros. Maybe someone else has had better luck but in my experience, the Contrail stuff is just too flexible - especially for the Pegasus kits which tend to have heavier top wings than do some of the "mainstream" kits.

I've had great luck with Contrail. The Nie.28 I did has nothing but. For 1/72nd - especially single seat fighters - you can get away with it. I've even used it to "create" 'N' and 'V' struts. It's extremely useable.

You get a packet of different sizes, with some instructions on how to make interplane as well as "V" and "N" struts. You make the vees and the enns by making a vee notch along the width of the strut and bend at that point to make an elbow bend. The brass strut material supplied is malleable, hence easy to bend. Could you knock a bend in it once the model is done? I don't know, haven't used it yet on a model. As an alternative I have used bamboo successfully. Got the idea from Bob Norgen. I get my bamboo from disposeable chopsticks. Easy to shape, nice and strong.

I really should have thought it through before even trying it. I did send it to myself and it worked great and wasn't really too terribly long (the TIF format picture was 10 times longer . . . what if I'd sent *t-h-a-t*?).

How many people are in this group anyway and in how many countries? I really am sorry and I promise I won't do it again. It just seemed like a good idea, but if it were I would have seen someone else do it on the list before now. I still like the idea of the putting some of our stuff on a web page. I've never really considered what might be involved in that, but I'm sure it's a lot of time and work to keep one up, especially if one were to keep changing it all the time.
