Thanks in advance. Yours, James D.

I've never worked with Poly Scale before, but if it's an aqueous type of paint, alcohol/rubbing alcohol will porbably do. If it's something like Tamiya acrylic, I can leave the painted part in a laudry soap and water solution. After about 30 min, it dissolves the paint. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 09:38:19 -0400 From: "Denest, Michael J" To: "'wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu'" Subject: RE: Halberstadt D II Message-ID: <31E6187EA8D0D111ACFE00805FE643DCA5ACA6@xch-phl-06.he.boeing.com> Mick, What plans are you building from?

I'm not building from anyones plans I have drawn my own based on the small 3-view in Fighters and require a better drawing to confirm the positioning of the M.G. and the cabane arrangement. The model will be 36" in wing span and power will come from a Graupner Speed 400 6v motor and 8x600AE cells driving a 9x6 propeller through a Mini Olympus gear drive. I have built a Bristol M1C in 1/10 scale using basically the same set up (less efficent gear drive though) and wanted to build a biplane this time.

I have one ESCI that might be OK + an old Airfix that needs stripping down and repainting. Tom ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 15:08:15 -0700 From: mgoodwin@ricochet.net To: wwi Subject: Airfix DH4 bomb ID Message-ID: <360C144F.3923@ricochet.net> Are these supposed to be 100, 230 or ? lb bombs? If they're 100 lb bombs, the shape is way off. Egg rather than pear shaped. (I know there're plenty of other problems with 'em too.)

Gray > Depends on what you mean by "clean up." To clean a paint brush of dried acrylic paint, I use lacqueur thinner, which is also handy for cleaning the airbrush. Alcohol works okay too, but lacqueur thinner is so efficient. For removing dried acrylic paint from a model, such as when the paint job didn't go so well, I then use rubbing alcohol, because you just don't want to put lacqueur thinner all over your plastic model. Hope that is of some help. Dane ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1222 **********************
