<<  Reardon, I have the aforementioned HP 0100 conversion, ergo, I probably
must have the parts in the spare box :).
 
 Did you build an 0/100 already? 

Not done yet, I started it, it appears that I have the parts you need.  Could
you send the part numbers so I can confirm?
 
> I have Bowyers book downstairs.  
 
 Thanks again. I find bombers and bombing squadrons fascinating, as they
 get so little coverage. >>

The best reference on 0/100's is Chaz Bowyers book on the Handley Page
.  If you don't have access to it, let me know what your are specifically
looking for and I can hopefuly provide some answers.  Glen

	Patrick,



>     Also, was Werner Voss Jewish?

	Nope. His documents describe him as "evangelisch", i.e evangelisch-
lutherisch.

 If so, was his name also left off of

	Yes, it was......basically because it didn't belong there.

Congrats.
  Does this mean we will have a chance to look at the O/400 in Santa Clara
in 2 weeks?  Does it also mean there won't be any need to bring any WWI a/c
for anything other than eye candy for the lookers.
John  See you all there.

Message-ID: <3584ACC0.5582@bellsouth.net>

Hey Guys,

So I've finally got some momentum going on the SVA, and I've got some
nice looking sub-assemblies just about ready for paint and installation
in the cockpit. But not having a whole bunch of reference material, it's
been very slow going with alot of hit & miss, build it over, file it
down, shim it up, start all over again...

The problem is that I don't have any references that say,"cut (X) this
long from size (Y) strip", or "assemble in this order..."
How do others deal with this to make things easier? Are there some
engineering rules, or tricks that would help? Do I just need to start
getting a greater variety of precision measuring tools? HELP!!!
E.
In real life, as in Grand Opera,
arias always make a hopeless situation worse.

These are actually 1/32nd scale.

Which makes:

ever so much more useful.

Cheers and all,

The most used tool on my workbench - next to the tweezers - are the
architectural dividers.  Measure the area with the dividers (or at least
get it as close as possible) cut according to the dividers plus a wee
bit, then dry fit and sand lightly until it fits.  HTH

Congratulations to both you and your son. Having seen the models in
their collection, I can just guess about the quality (not to mention
quantity) of the competition you folks faced.

By the way, (sniff, snort) what made you think that a measely Blenheim
would ever beat a "Bloody Paralyzer"?! :-)

The D.II conversion kit arrived from Passchendaele safely this morning. I
could not be more pleased! Beautiful work and a great value and promptly
delivered.

The castings are first rate. The trailing edges are nice and thin. The
roots of the lower wings even have dimples to mark where to drill for
mointing pins. The instructions are clear as are the diagrams and the
decals look good. The color marking guide by Dan-San Abbott is worth a frame.

John, you and your partner have made a great first offering. Releases of
future projects will be events to be looked foreward to. 

Wishing you a long and productive venture,

      I was very sorry to learn that Jesse.  FWIW, I did a search of the
Internet using "Web Ferret" and came up with no less than 500 sites containing
reverences to that insidious disease.  I saved the URL's as a text file and
would be happy to forward it to you or anyone else similarly afflicted.

     BTW, Web Ferret is *the best* search engine available IMNSHO.  It's

     One can obtain individual and back issues of Air Enthusiast Quarterly
by mail order directly from Key Publishing's US address.  Key publishing
has a Web page that details all of this and an e-mail address if you have
questions.  They take credit cards and checks.

     I'll see if I can find the e-mail address and URL and post it to you.
